Headline News Poem by John Thorkild Ellison

Well, well, well! You've finally come clean!
You hid your secrets for a long, long time and now they can be seen,
You tried to pull the wool over our eyes
But now we've finally seen through your lies,
You're so unclean!

The time has come to clean up your act,
We're sick of you now and that's a fact,
Pretending to be so sincere and so wise,
We must admit it was a clever disguise,
You're so unclean!

You've given so much to the poor and the sick
But your charitable works were just a trick
To hide the crimes that you've committed
While the rest of us have been dull-witted,
You're so unclean!

Why don't you admit your evil ways?
That might just earn you a modicum of praise,
Beg for forgiveness while you still can
Though keeping it secret was part of your plan,
You're so unclean!

The tabloids now are really giving you hell,
They know you're a pervert just from the smell,
It's no use pretending you're misunderstood
So save your whimpering, it's just no good,
You're so unclean!
