If You Want To Feel Bad About The News Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

If you want to feel bad about the news
Why stop with today
Why not go back in the archives since God
Knows when and read every blazing headline
Put yourself back in Kubla Khan's day after that
Or when all souls on board were lost
Again
Get mad at all of it
Stomp around
Knock yourself out
Go back and investigate
When children had to start going to school
That could take you days to get over;
Homework. Don't get me started.
Pop Quizzes.
School let out for Christmas early.
YAY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
