I’ve just read today’s paper
It’s full of doom and gloom
Murders, killing, destruction, death
Children being groomed
Headlines blare out constantly
SEX FIEND IS EXPOSED
There’s so much negativity
(The paper I have closed)
Why can’t I read, enjoy myself
With lots of humour, rife?
Instead of being subjected to
This gutter side of life?
Humour don’t sell papers….
Oh…
To check out more of Don Matthews’s work, go here.

The Far Side and Dilbert were the only reasons I read the paper…
That and the crossword puzzle.
