Journalist Joe reports the news,
Sniffing out stories to tell.
He loves his job, tracking the truth,
And so he does it well,
But one day he tracked me to my ballet.
Did he have to go and stoop so low
and report me falling on my face
Before the audience during the show?
Journalist Joe has a nose for the news,
And reports well, making it clear
He's good at displaying emotions,
evoking many a laugh and tear,
But he found it all too necessary
to report on my unexpected gas
At church, that at the final amen
I suddenly had the urge to pass.
Journalist Joe, the muckraking fool,
Has every important action noted.
So, when, next time, he reports on you
You can be sure you will be quoted.
Like the time he caught me crying
In an empty public bathroom stall
About his lurid awful stories
While he leaned against the wall.
Journalist Joe, I think I can easily say
I dislike news with increased velocity,
Because instead of relaying need-to-know
The news is now a bothersome atrocity.

| Thus, you've captured the general public's distaste with the media. Nicely done, Gypsy! |

Hee, hee, I wonder if Joe had written down the smell of the pass of the unexpected gas too. He probably had written down the prayer word for word too.
Fun write, your a Riot! Love the cute sketch jessica....
