Hello! Here at Pungent Sound we love the news. It does not matter what kind: TV news, internet news, radio news, podcasts, twitter, gossip, and analysis. It’s all the same, and it’s all fantastic.
We appreciate the thoughtfulness. The measured tones. The respect these outlets have for their readers, viewers, and listeners. Most of all, we appreciate the accuracy. And there is no doubt that competition and variety have elevated social discourse and enlightened the public. With all this in mind, I wrote the following poetic tribute.
Breaking News
A cow covered with hundreds
of mouth-like lesions
each containing a tongue
that lovingly licks my ear -
tells me all the black lies
I desperately want to hear;
a massive udder with hundreds
of mottled leathery teats -
and I suck the sour milk.
