THE NOTHING BURGER

 

If you are a politician

or a celebrity

and have something

you want to share

make sure it has legitimacy

and actually is worthwhile

with a firm basis in truth

and the facts

otherwise

it is just a Nothing Burger

with nothing to it

no meat to the statement

nothing to see

a burger without bun

no pickles or onions

no mayo or fries

the #1 Nothing Combo

that comes with nothing

and has no meat to it

 

about like this poem.

I think this should apply to journalists too, btw.

But, I'm glad that since I am not a politician or a celebrity (or a journalist) I am allowed to continue serving up slices of nothing.
