Bad News Travels Fast

Amongst the media
It is the fashion
To bring bad news
With great passion,
Lady Jones found
Strangled in bed,
In Rwanda a million
Starving to death,
Children all over
Poisoned by lead,
A movie star drowned
In a water bed,
Ending the news
Good and fast
With a worldwide
Atomic blast,
For if all moves
Smoothly and fine,
The media business
Will quickly decline.
