Well, they really got the scoop this time, But the headlines came undone, Too bad they didn't wait to see, If Bush or Gore had won.... Now I've got a paper, With a story that is wrong, What was the editor thinking, Making the banner so long. I paid 50 cents for the words, That weren't even true, Why did they think that they were right, When no one else had a clue. But they had to have a headline, So they had to make a choice, Guess they didn't want to hear, Florida's electoral voice. So I'll wrap the paper in tissue, And put it up in the attic to store, Maybe when it's found up there, We'll know if it's Bush or Gore. |

Hey that paper may be worth more than 50 cents. Of course if the headline proves correct the editor will just say I knew all along who would win. Good Poem |

what happened was after gore conceded they went ahead and printed the headlines..same thing happened in alot of places Bonnie..and then he changed his mind but it was too late.  < !signature-->A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 11-08-2000).] |

A great poem. You have successfully informed me on what's going on! hehe  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Yeah, really. I can't believe the insanity of this...Florida closed the voting booths too soon, Bush wants a recount for Wisconsin, and last I heard everyone in Oregon does their votes by mail. All I can say is I HOPE BUSH WINS!!!! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Bonnie~ If the paper's headlines prove to be correct - they'll claim a scoop ! But if NOT ... you've got a collector's item for sure. Delightful lady !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
