Melanie Browne- A Poem

I woke up late and Fox News was on every channel

I woke up late after an illness

& Fox News was on every channel,

Shepard Smith was trying

to send me subliminal messages

about smoking, 

sex and the dangers of saccharine

Greta Van Susteren was

whispering through my

television set,

Repent! Repent!

Obama's horsemen of

the Apocalypse 

are right outside 

the door!

Bill O'Reilly

wore all black,

he looked like Rosemary's Baby,

"Momma," he screamed

"Momma!"

I woke up late after an illness,

and Fox News was on every channel,

the buzzards flew high overhead

and the rain came down in sheets,

Glen Beck was juggling 

poisonous snakes and in

the background I heard

the Fox News Tabernacle 

choir which lulled me

to sleep forever and always
