I did not read the news today

I did not read the news today
I do not want it anyway.
Election stories that must fail
as anything but fairy tale.
Scary clowns that crowd reports
as if they were the evening sports.
Russia meddles, China shoves;
there's no place for gentle doves.
Hackers steal with dreadful ease;
the Pope no longer has his keys.
Oceans rising while there's drought;
God above, what's this about?
Tomorrow I'll ignore the news;
on Netflix I can watch Tom Cruise.
