Another Paper Bites the Dust (The Village Voice Ceases Print Publication)



Another paper bites the dust
And goes the cyber way
Our forests gain protection
But our tactile rights? Oy vay!
When newsprint lay upon the land
As thick as cream cheese frosting
And ev’ry news stand had a choice
Of viewpoints quite exhausting --
Then twere joy to sit and read
My paper with a bagel --
But now with keyboard and a screen
I always must finagle.
The internet is good for many things
Like games and podcast
But it is sucky when it comes
To comics and good lambaste.
So I will read a book instead
And let the Fourth Estate
Go online without my aid

To thunder and to prate.
