SAN MATEO, Calif. - Californer -- For National Columnists Day (April 18, 2025)…I humbly submit…A brief satire about NEWS called "Slow News Day"
To: Columnists everywhere
From: Robert Barrows
R.M. Barrows Advertising & Public Relations (and poetry)
Dear Columnist:
Here is a poem I wrote that you could use for National Columnists Day, or for any day that you might be experiencing a slow news day.
"SLOW NEWS DAY"
Copyright 2017, Robert M. Barrows
I was scanning the wires for news
and I couldn't find nothing...
No killings, no wars, no fires,
no thefts, no car crashes,
not even some liars.
Nothing to write about,
not even bad weather...
I can't believe nothing bad happened...
Maybe tomorrow will be better?
(Add your verses here)…

You can see some more of my poetry in 4 books of poetry I wrote called "Crazy Robert's Poems and Potential Song Lyrics," "Crazy Robert's More Great Poems and Potential Song Lyrics," "Crazy Robert's Third Great Book of Poems and Potential Song Lyrics"
More on The Californer
and, to make things easy for people in the music business looking for their Next Big Hits…I also compiled the poems that would make some great potential song lyrics into a book called "Crazy Robert's Great Potential Song Lyrics Destined to Become Big Hits."
But wait, there's more! I also wrote a book of jokes called "Crazy Robert's Joke Book."
