News Values (some time last November) (Sonnet) by Nicholas Jones

Switch on TV; let's hope there is something That will divert me from all of this shit Shut out all of my worries concerning The modern world and what goes on in it But then: NEWSFLASH; this programme is delayed We interrupt our schedules to bring you Despatches from the front line of today Reports on happenings that must be viewed. This could be anything, I think, could be Explosions, war: I see inside my head Destruction from the air or from the seas Please Lord, let there not be too many dead. But then the headline comes and they tell me Butler who did not steal has now been freed.

Something freaky happened there, and cut a bit off my message.
The poem goes:

Sing for Wales or shut your trap
All the rest's a load crap.

Which is pretty succinct. No, I'm not Dr. Thomas Jones. But there was a Dr. Thomas Jones who inspired the following short poem:

Where now he lies his own routine
Will suffer scant disruption
For none could say he'd ever been
A stranger to corruption.
