New information in the news today
A school suggests Obama for its name
A clinic burned by Rios who’s in jail
And Clinton accepts secretary game
Construction workers injured building fined
State Treasurer is speaking with the kids
Then Dallas and Seattle soon to dine
Economy has budgets wearing lids
Race for attorney generally now is closed
Car break-ins are once more a local spree
A fatal crash near Salem closes Road
A pitbull dies attacking deputy

Today the homework in sixth grade just ran
With talk of “Death of Santa” in the plan

Six people killed in Tijuana bar
Explosive threat cause for school schedule change
Mall shooter in Tukwila still at large
Insurance Co rejects a landslide claim
With cabinet positions being filled
Obama’s right on top of everything
Teen runaway his body was found killed
Drunk driver sentenced to six years in clink
Police narcotics dog was struck by car
ID cards stolen from gym locker rooms
A plea of guilty for two fake bank guards
I feel as though I’m buried ‘neath this doom

Prefer much lighter content when I choose
That’s why I hardly ever watch the news
