Most Earth Shaking News Gets Short Shrift

rew4er2nail

Tree mend us sappy weird

human interest stories rarely appeared

back in the day online, whereas

at present (the toasted,

digitally papered, and lacquered

drab heron nah owl pablum),

not spared, but repeated,

a bajillion times showcased


finds me clicking past beard

did and bared naked ladies

(and/or men), paired

with nauseatingly, predictably,

and repeatedly, those

bland posts, veered

as popular cult

chore, which someone

deemed apropos as

pulp yule har audience -

this main poetic thread spun

repeatedly woven into infrared

weave as the warp and weave,

(these vapid) re:hash tagged,

intruded, interfered,

and invaded celebrities,


and/or ordinary folks privacy

yawping (usually bacon

stripped clean away

with specific prime information

such as dates, names, and

times of tragicomic event),

which dramatic mysteries,

finds me laughably,


insignificantly, and feebly scared

to the bones with suspense,

at present, these

days of our lives
showering unthinking viewers

(watching "FAKE" dark shadows

from the edge of night

as the world turns) with


exposes (x pose hays),

where particularly young kids

get reared, nursed, and juiced

with whodunit crime

(candle lee boxed and beribboned

just in tim bur for the holidays)

staid insipid blurbs get overly aired

at least on America Online,


this above contrasted and compared

to he/she whomever chaired

helm at formerly mentioned

once upon a time (wonderful

Internet Service Provider

exceptionally renown -

me own acronym

WHISPER down the ally


long ague mooch mo' CRISPR)

cyber sea internet

provider years ago,

than many similar competing

companies to access

electronic details, cuz

(I subscribed to AOL for

many years), thence declared


tummy, (yours truly i.e. me)

ranked as topnotch significant

venerated news coverage geared

to concerned citizens such

as this scribe, (many years ago),

at present receive less high marks

given so these days,

despite decades long patronage

 

(from this long gush haired

poor lee aging leaden

pencil necked geek),

who vaguely recalls

greater in depth coverage

concerning vital headlines

well prepared on the homepage,

which whomever (at that time)


selected "stories" dared

to acknowledge a gamut of

critical global events

incorporating controversial

themes paired

with lighter fare (for web surfers

less interested in socio-

political, national, environmental,

et cetera coverage),

said Internet Provider

broadcast more roundly squared


information versus, the present

eagle lit tarry rhea

hen superficial twittering,

which electronic webpage

designers believe more important.
