Today was a slow day on the news wire Nothing at all going on The people and things that cause trouble in life Must have decided to call it quits and stay home
No earthquakes or tornado's to speak of No mudslides or fires to ravage the land All the people who bring us the bad news Stood around just scratching their heads
Not a person was murdered or robbed No kidnapping or spousal abuse Nothing much exciting to speak of That we've grown to expect in our news
No bombs in the Middle East went off No politicians were caught in a lie No Hollywood Star said something stupid No one famous or not even died
Yes today was a slow day on the news wire Nothing at all going on Which has the rest of us wondering If this is the calm before the storm
