Wishing It Would Go Away Poem by Audrey Heller

It's gotten to the point, that you hate
to pick up, the morning paper! All
the news you read, doesn't make
your day! There's many miserable,
items, that are printed. That makes
you wish, it would go away! Just once,
I'd like to read about a happy occasion!
There has to be some, somewhere! I'd
like to start the day off, with a happy
feeling. A feeling, of walking, on air!
Enough of all the killings and maiming!
Don't you think, it's time to stop? Let me
read, an article that's funny, where I can
laugh, until, I drop! So, all of you columnists,
try to write, something that's light. It certainly
would, be a kinder, thing to do. And most of
all, it will help, to keep me, from being uptight!
