Blow Matthew Blow

Hurry hurry hurry Hurricane Matthew
Forty six years ago today Janis Joplin died
For love of Matthew who never bought her albums
Attended her concerts
Or stared at her poster on his wall

The Baltimore Orioles go to Canada today
To face the godless bats of the northern barbarians
Bring Baseball’s best to Baltimore
Where they can reclaim the land as theirs
During the seventh inning stretch

Second Bananas Debate tonight
As if they mattered
Trump and Clinton are too mean to die
Bullets bounce off them
Only the truth stings and the country bleeds

The real president of the United States Kim Kardashian
Was robbed of boobs and booty in a Paris Hotel
Terrorists blew up her celebrity
Toppled her pedestal
Stole the Mercedes Benz the Lord gave her instead of JJ

Russia and the United States aren’t kissing
Columbia kicks its rebels out of bed
Uber has yet another competitor
And the media sells this to us
Calling it news
