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.
