Simon and Garfunkel
once sang “Are you going to Scarborough Fair?”
Parsley, sage,
rosemary and thyme
In the political
climate “Are you avoiding the Scarborough anchor chair?”
Fake news, rage,
rhetoric and biased slime
For once he was a true
Red
Now fake news, rage,
rhetoric and biased slime
Have him rail against
Trump spreading fear and dread
Are you fleeing from
the Scarborough anchor chair?
Bias and hatred beyond
compare
Fake news, rage,
rhetoric and biased slime
Have him
talk to the families of victims in the planes or on the ground running out of
time
Close
your ears to the victims’ screams or the reading of the names of the dead
Listen
to his rail of Trump’s more damage to America instead?
Fake
news, rage, rhetoric and biased slime
Then
listen to the cadence of the memorial chimes
Morning
Joe’s Trump Derangement Syndrome appears terminal off the charts
From a
former journalist from whom objectivity has made a quick depart
Trying
to spread fear and despair
Joined
by the other Bobbsey twin of bias to fill the air
Morning
Joe and Mika
About
as welcome in your home as a swarm of Zikas
False news,
rage, rhetoric and biased slime
On Morning Joe don’t waste your time!
