They were all getting rich at what they did -
these twelve year olds and younger underlings
writing, editing the California news
dreaming up elaborate newsy things...
The editor was know as Melodies
who had a thing for cotton candy flings
and gummy bears in built-in swimming pools
with neon zebras and elephants glittering
around her mansion’s water park canoes
provided for her many guest’s pleasantries...
The columnist was Individuality
who spent his early mornings scrambling eggs
then his afternoons unscrambling them
and mixing them in pancake batter instead
to feed the minds of all his faithful fans
with sticky-capped headlines, declaring loud
the issues of today, why, here’s some now:
“LuThEraN ChURch LiFTs bAn oN GaYS iN cLeRGy”
“fEMaLe OrGAsmS and A rULe oF tHuMb”
“wHiTE hOUse SpOKesMaN ExPLaiNs oBaMa’s wEE-wEEd uP cOMmeNT”
So I sent in my newsworthy imaginings
to see if they would print my wild fare
and yes, the did, they loved it, so they said
my stories ringing loudly in their heads
it made them grin from ear to tiny ear
to hear about their own hometown affairs
and here is one I wrote, concerning theirs:
Today I found a secret mystery
that explains some peculiar things,
things like gummy bear pools
and poodles with green apple wings
and odd Los Angeles activities
so cool beyond the rules...
-newsworthy
all in itself
yet it is all kept hush-hush...
the California news stories are dreamed
by twelve year olds and underlings,
‘lings whose craniums drool
at Melodies’ and Indi’s flings
both bouncing, laughing, on their trampolines
the rest of us such fools...
-tools are we
pegs on a shelf
our brains made up of mush-mush...
lush in the sun in pools of gummy bears
where you’ll soon be in movies everywhere...
So I was accepted by them all
I’d could be seen at evening disco balls
dressed up in my fine Cali’ attire
Glitterati hanging on my fire
spewing forth on the latest worldly ills
like little children making mother’s pills
who worked for a pittance, often without shoes...
I was on their A-list for this ruse
and spent my days in gummy bear swimming pools...
and I have Melodies and indi both to credit,
though I warned them, they may both regret it...!
