BEASTLY TALES

NEWS REPORTER

Doodles Dandy was an announcer to T.V News,
Regular news was too gory, so sports he did choose.
Sports Reporting had a more peaceful story,
Dandy wanted to avoid news, both bloody and gory.
And so he reported on various sporting fixtures,
Always positively, no, never with strictures.

“I prefer peace and calm, no consummate thrillers,”
“So I avoid news stories of dismemberment or serial killers.”
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t like a little action,”
“Sporting action, that is to say, only lands one in traction”
But as Doodles Dandy transferred to football sports news,
He began to view matters differently, yes, different views.
Football, being a contact sport,
Resulted in injuries that they really shouldn’t ought!
“If only they’d wear armour and helmets to play!”
“As they do in America, the good old U.S.A.”
But it wasn’t just player injury that caused Doodles concern.
The team supporters, in stadiums seemed to have money to burn!
That is to say, they allowed their support to go to their head,
Many of them came close to expiration, yes, being dead!

So Doodles transferred to regular news,
Apparently more placid than sporting views.
He became a correspondent on violent crime.
And found that he had a much more peaceful time!
