What's the world coming to?

I sometimes hate to watch
the news...and the grim
reaper mentality the news
journalists use.

They are always competing
with one another vying for
the top slot...spinning head-
lines which seem the most
presentable.

Even the commercials tell
us that lung cancer, HIV,
worts on your bottom and
all that other stuff...is
preventable.

Only a fool smokes or screws
around without protection,
yet, one would be surprised
at the great number of folks
who possess this imperfection.

Give us your cures and your
worthless Rx manure from the
back, while you give us your
diseases from the front.

A redneck would say,..."give
me a chaw of tobac. No, make
that two packs...have a nice
day,... ker plunk.

The judges?...they all lean toward
the killing machines 'cause it puts
a buck or two in their pockets.

It boils down to whom is killing
who?...P-Morris or our govenment?
Pfiser gives 'em erector pills to
boot. All I can say is.....well, you
know?

It seems like everyone is a looser
these days as our freedoms are
deminished in so many ways.

You can't light up a stogie anymore,
like in the 'ol days, especially in front
of your kid

You can't drink a beer or two for being
branded a boozer...like your granddaddy
did.

What's the world coming to?
