Two Sides to Every Story (the False Equivalence Poem)
There are two sides to every story,
said the husband to the cop.
She annoyed me ’til I shot her;
how else could I get her to stop?
There are two sides to every story,
said the burglar at his trial.
They had the stuff I needed;
they’ll only cry a little while.
There are two sides to every argument,
said the person without facts.
I’ve a right to my opinion;
I’ve no need my brain to tax.
There are two sides to every story, but,
both may not be of merit.
If one side’s without value,
let’s not waste the time to air it.
The official term is "False Equivalence" but I prefer "Equal Time for *******." A slightly different version of a previous PF poem.
