Sunny mornings spent alone,

Calls for news named as such,

Yet scrawled careless between
 
pages isn’t news so much - 
 
 
‘Britney’s back with a hit!’
 
‘She’s 19 and she’s got tits!’
 
‘Chris and Gywneth finally split!’
 
I scrabble hungry for underestimated wit,
 
Yet,  between licking and flicking I find this is it-
 
An incredulous, shameful, shower of shit!
