It was actually a very good day for me
At work. I can't at all complain,
And not sure when next we will get rain,
Tonight I heard about an Accident, involving two trains,
On the West Coast, A commuter and A freight,
And hope your day was great?
That it was a good one?
And Soon, Isaac will hit, won't know the damage, until its done
Until its completed the Cycle, before it heads out to sea,
, right now, many did flea
This one has such power,
Heard right now, winds at 60 Miles an hour,
And has already flooded 300 miles of the Coast. not sure how much rain
fell?
Just heard, there is water in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Hotel,
And the Reporter's Satellite equipment is shaking,
They have mentioned glass breaking,
Not yet any debris flying, not sure now, how strong the wind is blowing?
And all Evening, This Hurricane, they have been showing
Geraldo Rivera is there,
Can't these Reporter's just share?
Information, the news? Without being melodramatic? They find it exciting,
When, live at the "Scene", when their citing
An Event, such as this,
Not a single minute they don't want to miss,
When, there is flooding, Plane crashes, shootings, they become Animated and
seemed thrilled
The more damage there is and more killed
They Seem glad, Its like they want a catastrophic situation, they are
waiting
To increase the ratings
So, their story will make the Headlines,, and Recognition they will get
And us, viewers would be glued to our sets?
What do you think? Do you agree? Am I right on the money
As I write this, I think, isn't there anything funny?,
Humorous, or inspiring to report? Haven't heard any in the last couple days
Just recalling 9-11, Hurricanes, Train Wrecks, Blazes,
And other Crimes?
Whether your reading the New your Times,
Wall street Journal or the U S A Today,
There is nothing, really Positive for the Journalists to say
What about a human Interest Piece?, A rescue taking place?
That is more my taste,
Up my Alley, more like my speed
Stories about Ordinary People, I would like to read
What about you?
Do you feel that way too?
I began to tell you about work, I had a pleasant day,
And my co-workers could hear what I say
On the phone through my headset which is a very good thing,
And I wish something upbeat I could bring
Rather then, these Stories about Hurricane Isaac Pounding Texas and 10
killed on the train
Sometimes, the News, I do refrain
I would rather, watch Comedies or a good book,
Then, hear about an Earth Quake, that shook
In California, or a murder in our City,
I much rather read something witty
And it, tickle my funny bone,
Or find out how my family and Friends are on the phone
Or write to you all,
And I am tuning out Geraldo again, mentioning the sea wall, lol
Drowning him out, turning my ear the other way,
And we chatted with our Brother-in-law today.
Bob, in Boston, seems all are doing fine
About 30 minutes we were on the line,
Bobby is now a Sophomore, and on Crew, the Rowing Team,
And Joanna, 13,
tried out for Field Hockey, she is Athletic and I think has a high
self-esteem,
Their Younger Sis Katie is in the 5 Th grade, doing just fine,
And after School, she spends time
With her little Cousins Cole and Liam, 5 & 2,
Hanging out, is what they do
They live next Door, I am sure, they have fun,
And its now 9;30, I should run,
Rap this up, , this should come to a close,
And Maybe, tomorrow, a KDd I will Compose?
I am off, Work I don't have to Go
I am not, going to see, how fast the wind does blow
Will listen to Delilah and watch Home Improvement instead,
And spend time with Darrell before its time for bed,
Another time, I will write,
For now, Have a good night.
