NEWSHOUR

AN EXERCISE IN MONORHYME

        The NewsHour team reports the day’s events,
        A nightly task of trying to make sense
        Of situations trifling or immense,
        Sometimes concerning national defense,
        Though typically on topics less intense:
        Huge issues they will carefully condense
        To simplify what at first glance is dense,
        And in and hour it seems they’ve put a fence
        Round the diurnal riot of events.
