Subject: Another Chris Poem
From: cbarber@uga.cc.uga.edu
Our bearded Chris, imperious
eye
Stands bravely poised at the
edge of the sky
A loosely coiled rope, tied
tight to this dope
He believes with a lunge he
can fly.
A man-child pedaling his bicycle
hard
Scattering pedestrians from
street to yard
He rides on his steed, satisfying
the need
Of yahoos for their local news
lard.
Chris, I cry weekly, where is
your show?
They have removed the only haven
where I can go,
The TV is crap, just shoved
in your lap
As FOX heeds the siren song of
dough.
The fickle public velcroes its
pockets tight
When confronted by Cabin Boy
and the sight
Of Chris at sea, how stupid
can they be?
I’ve seen it 12 times, this
supposed blight.
Can this sad situation truly
be the end
A bit part future for our TV
friend?
I say letters we must write,
we must vigilantly fight
And get Chris’s future on the
mend!
I hope you all enjoy this
Eduardo
