This Poem is for John Reinan's Tweet.

 "According to several news consumers, I am dumb woke pathetic alt-left fucking trash. I plead guilty to being woke, since 6:30 this morning."


Journalists must have tough hides
and fearless consciences besides.
Since the rise of tweets and posts
reporters get more knocks than boasts.
Even mild pacific readers
call some writers mother breeders.
Civil discourse, it's well known,
has gone the way of the rotary phone.
Readers of such brutal scope
need mouths washed out with laundry soap.
I'm glad I'm not the Fourth Estate;
I don't like their attrition rate.
