Mea Culpa

Post by marymary »

Mea Culpa

A red letter day for the red tops!
Admitting responsibility
for hacking the hacked off
and publishing details of their lives and crimes
uncovered by nefarious means.
“All the way to the top” scream the headlines
By-lines by hook or by crook
Column inches manufactured by a parcel of rogues.
James, Les, Rebekah, Andy and Colin
abetting recidivistic malfeasance while searching for
corruption, knavery and malversation
to enliven breakfast conversation.

Thanks. I did it for my daughter who is, of course, coming out to be a journalist and is now editor of her Uni rag.

I'm even more pleased with this one, as things have turned out.

It wasn't part of the plan, then?

April, eh? A bit before the proverbial hit the fan. Perhaps you should consider a new career as a Sibyl.
