The News Today Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The News Today
Louvre in Paris has closed its door the staffs stand
on the steps and sing the national anthem they have
no lifeboats and can`t stop Louvre being filled with
the art of debris, cleaning up will be a headache
what is art and what is rubbish.
Meanwhile,80 million rats have sought higher ground
occupying rich people's homes sleeping and eating silk
sheets and Foie gras get drunk and aggressive on rare
wine and defecating on Persian carpets

Also in the news, a boy in Japan has been dancing with
bears and eating their blueberry jam.
The boy says he will be a zookeeper when he grows up
to put his parents in a cage. The rest of the news is boring
the routine stuff about useless wars on sand dunes
