781 - Hard Pressed

Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: content, evolve & sober.


Hard Pressed

The media makes a great hullabaloo
About things they wish to pursue.
The content is skewed,
However it’s viewed,
And the truth is rarely on view.

◊◊◊

They assume that their readers are dead,
And are wanting a distraction instead,
So the page three depicts
Some extraordinary tits
Evolved for a double page spread.

◊◊◊

The truth is the promise, rehearsed,
In fact it’s just the reverse:
They create a great flap
That is one-sided crap,
And if watching it sober, it’s worse.
