Stars and newsmakers, they all took turns
by Rocci Fisch, American political commentator

It seems like eons ago
That a new prez took over the show
Biden in, Trump out
So now let’s see what it’s all about

But not so fast, it isn’t done
Impeachment looms, it’s hard to shun
“Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day”
From House to Senate, the article holds sway

Tomorrow night, delivery time
In two weeks the bells will chime
Back at the Capitol the National Guard stay
Five thousand remain, keep trouble away

AOC assassination plot, hang Mr. Pence, kill the cop
That their aim, protesters’ plot
Hunting season
Protest reason

Trump is gone but will return
In some form his efforts churn
A MAGA party, a Patriot name
He’s making calls, he’s got the aim

In the meantime it’s a “wartime” fight
Against the virus, still gaining might
More strains are found
There seems no bound

“Vaccines not vaccinations,” officials say
The states need supply to make it go away
Need more batches, shots in arms
Help to squelch the damn alarms

Daily briefings for the press
Biden wants to clean up mess
Executive orders, act right now
Wants more money the people need chow

Alexey Navalny, the Putin foe
Returns to Russia, his status, oh …
Arrest immediate, thousands protest
Violent scenes, they reach the crest

Poisoned he was, suspicious crime
Survived but returned, his defiance prime
A week of legends, their work was large
Documented the times, call ‘em ‘Sarge’

Fifty-five years with NBC
Brokaw was there, brought much to see
He reported, he anchored, he analyzed, wrote books
The Greatest Generation he made popular, a grateful look

Larry King, the man who asked “why”
Departed yesterday, the accolades high
Fifty-five thousand, the interviews he did
Conversational style, a massive grid

Stars and newsmakers, they all took turns
To be on his show, their respect he earned
“Larry King Live” for twenty-five years
Appointment TV, to the King of Talk, cheers
