Entry: We interrupt this program - A11710900
Author: miraculousrandomness - U3926571

what do you think of it

This just in, Judas wrote a book, but Jesus didn't.
This just in, the Vatican thinks the Da Vinci Code has caused more sold more t-shirts to be sold than the bible has.
This just in, you might have gotten cancer without knowing it,
in which case your Doctor shouldn't pray for you without a prescription.
This just in, the EU would like to have a moment in which to reconsider the last thing they were deliberating involving Turkey, chocolate-covered antlers, and VATs.

That still doesnt explain what you think of my poem thats just another poem

Oh. Sorry. I only reply to one's that I like.
I found your's inspiring.

'riffing off' .

To get to your poem, miraculousrandomness: it's a neat idea, rhythm's almost spot on, the last line's good.

It's entertaining for its rhythm, rhyme, and nonsense lines.

Unless I'm missing your references, in which case apologies, you haven't got any real meat in there for me to think about/chew over/imagine/re-read for, which I like to have. That's a personal preference.

Detailed stuff:
'We interrupt this program and were live in Katmandoodle' is 'were' a typo?

'We interrupt this program for the first talking poodle' the rhythm's good in all the other lines but isn't quite there in 'first talking' to my ear but maybe it's what you wanted.

Is that more what you wanted ?
Waz

I changed the poodle to use your noodle

Practically telegasmic.



We now return you to more properly human races
We now return you to poor Parliamentary faces
We now return you to a mountain kingdominium
We now return you to your scheduled dose of lithium
We now return you to the same ol' straight and narrow
We now return you to dear Cupid's misfired arrow

A small .... ran into a large .... Authorities are forming a conclave to make sure it doesn't happen ....

The tourist season at .... will not open as scheduled, as naked .....
protestors have left .... all over the ....

Music sensations ...... have made a bid to break into the ..... industry with their new experimental effort. Fans are breaking into a ..... sweat in anticipation. The used.... market is panting in anticipation, also.

There's something truly poetic about the line:
'I changed the poodle to use your noodle'.



OK...OK...changing channels now...

We interrupt this program to say why it's so late
But the police and the government have something on their plate
We know you'll never see this, you're gonna shout and scream!
Because the video's only sent half the show to your TV screen.


Awesome, everyone!
