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)…
