When the people make a fuss,

throw your staff beneath the bus.

One by one they walk the plank,

so your record stays a blank.

This is how you operate

if your mind is second-rate.

Anonymous, anonymous;

that word is sure synonymous

with sneaks and cheats and cowards, too,

who don't want their name you to view.

Such books, without a nom de plume,

have no place in a good newsroom.

Let's confess that when it rains

the White House man ain't got much brains;

he forecasts weather like a schnook

and never elocution took --

so when he prates of hurricanes

you'd best put on your tire chains,

cuz it gets deep and if you squawk --

or if you don't -- you'll get a knock.
