NEWS HOUND
NEWS HOUND
The planetoid eater with a jaw for news
Chewed out the marrow of tomorrows scoop,
The starry eyed, that gentleman of a wordsmith
Trumped the competition with a felled swoop.
He ate the atlas along each meridian equatorial
Shared his bed with tropic of Cancer and Capricorn
What is the meter of his dictionary; his prosaic size?
His word train upward swirls round the Matterhorn
Atlaswise by St. Elmo’s fire he types his text
Spewing out the imbibed horrific Iraqi scenes
Alive, alone, alerted to whatever comes next
He captions the world by the most eclectic means.
