I guess I lied. Came back to grade and my daughter had a meeting on the computer, so I went back out again. Finally, got to grade y’all. Great job, everyone!

Driveby media always chases
The objects that are luminous
Reality doesn’t matter at all-
That info must be numinous

Checking facts is never done
They’re too liberal and lazy
Instead they have a séance
And publish something crazy

They chase after things like
Fake scandal or even a curse
The more they publish lies
They look insane and worse

They are agenda driven gossip mongers substituting their own biases for news. Thus we have #fakenews. A++++ Excellent poem!
