 U.S. newspapers continuing to die at rate of 2 each week   (AP)

 

I don't know how much truth resides

when newspapers set up as guides.

But whether fact or puerile pap,

I subscribe for Andy Capp.

I like the crossword, but not the caprices

of columnists and their opinion pieces.

Still, I think it cause to mourn

when a journal is unborn.

Full of blarney they can be,

but yet their content beats TV. 

Alas, there isn't any sect

that will a newspaper resurrect.

Even money, piles of gold,

can't restore those rags of old.

 Fading fast, at two each week,

the newspaper is ancient Greek.
