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
