Instant punditry


Mix dry grains of truthiness
and artificial fruitiness
with watery prose
in big smiling pitchers:
punditry's a cheap drink
best served cold.

O to be a pundit (payed
news channel wit)
with a faithful base!
No one cares a whit
of what you are made,
just how you taste.

    "O to be a pundit (payed
