Culling through the News

It’s hard for me to read the news.

I get quite addled.  I confuse

the facts among the words they say

with propaganda sent my way.

“News” is often just a jumble..

thrown together… clash… and tumble…

.. makes a doubter out of me,

doubting all I hear and see.

I still believe the world is round.

I don’t think aliens have been found.

And when the headlines scream at me,

I try to think quite ration’lly.

But it gets harder ev’ry day

to sift through all the words they say.

The Daily Scam

“Good morning, Ma’am.

My name is Bard.

I’m calling about

your credit card.

Our computer was hacked.

(Ain’t that a bummer?)

I have to re-enter

your VISA number.

Sure, I can wait.

Won’t be but a minute.

You can check your purse

and see what’s in it.

On what date does the card expire?

(Just a few more questions

before you tire).

I need the safety code on back.

(It’s just because of this

Hack Attack).

Now, please confirm your billing address.

(I’m almost done,  I do confess).

And,will you please re-spell your name

so all our records are the same?

That’s all I need.

I thank you, Ma’am.

You’ve made me a

Very Happy Man.”
