What makes a nonstory worthy of news? <br />When those involved admit it. <br />Without benefit of apology. <br />At least one that does not please. <br />And a scandal wished, <br />Diminishes with bite. <br />Leaving a desire to rip one to shreds, <br />Completely pointless. <br />Especially if one anticipates it. <br />And this removes the excitement! <br /> <br />'Come on, David. <br />Let us be the ones to embarrass you. <br />What fun is in it if you seem to enjoy, <br />All of this unnessarry nonsense... <br />With a provocativeness that really isn't news. <br />About who you had sex with and their consentment? <br />It takes the 'taint' out of tantillizing! <br />Why did 'you' announce your degradations... <br />To leave us appearing as fools? <br />Comeon, David. <br />We had hopes to embarrass you! ' <br /> <br />~And Ladies and Gentlemen... <br />I must confess this: <br />The one reporting my trangressions, <br />Had not been invited. <br />And as democracy would have it, <br />A vote was taken. <br />I assure you my sexual activities, <br />Had the best of intentions to benefit all. <br />That one 'man' was disgruntled, <br />Leaves me rather pleased. <br />No one else found my activities, <br />That envious enough to heat up such 'meatless' controversy.~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
