There once was a planet called Earth
Who’s ecological wonders were dearth.

And to smoke, and to drink, and to eat, and to change the radio, and to dig in the console for change for the tolls, to make sure you safely arrive.

It seems that vampires are all the rage;

On TV, in films and on the printed page.
Not like in past years
When blood-sucking financiers
Caused some righteous American outrage.

Even Madame Doninique,
The noted psuchique
Says, “I predict a big ‘W’.”

Jay Leno at 10? It can’t miss.
But after one week
With one voice, we speak,
Saying, “You cancelled ER for this?”
