A Poem By A Twelve-Year Old

As today has been a crazy day, I present to you a poem written by a twelve-year old. Only a few of you, I’m sure, can identify all the names.

The News

Tom Snyder’s here on NBC
Bob Hale’s the weatherman
ABC’s got Joe Benti
5’s got George Putnam

An ode to Tom & Tom & Jess
Jerry and Utley
Walter, Barney, Clete, & John
More we do not need

The network news on ABC
is dull and very boring
The network news on CBS
is nothing worth com-poor-ing

But NBC’s a different thing
The 6:00 is the best
With Ross Porter and Tom Snyder
Bob Hale and the rest.

I know, I should stick with my day-job.
