This poem, Good Morning, is a quick satirical look at the current revolving door show host replacements. He's woke, he's in, he's WASP, he's out, he's she, them in, etc.

Good satirical post. Iust say I can only imagine that the daily grind of a TV host would go somewhat along the lines suggested by your poem.

Great illustration to complement your words.

This was so unique and different. Upon reading it, I could imagine a show set and the makeup people darting off camera as the countdown is made. What other television and movie prompts are you going to use? This was very cool. Gretchen

    Thank you. This was really a spur of the moment inspiration. I did not really take the time to think about it. The idea has become so popular that I really must give thought to other similar themes. I think it might be nice if someone else might do something in the same vein.

Nolan,
Very nice poem about the goings on of a newscaster, or other tv personality. I can't imagine being in front of a tv camera, making mistakes, or not being sad at some tragic breaking news.
Thank you for making me think about this one.
Great work.
Have a good week.
Cindy

It certainly sounds authentic. From various TV programs I've seen over the years I can envision this the way you wrote it.

Well done and presented.

They do seem to get replaced without much notice sometimes. I they insult the wrong person, cause the station to lose money or just don't please the station owner. This might not be far form true.

This is a clever little poem that is probably true to life. Excellent rhyming with the words wakeup, shakeup, makeup, and Jacob. Your words give a clear behind the scenes view of a show.

    Thank you. I cannot even begin to tell you where the idea for this came from. The opening lines just popped into my head and I was off and running.

    This happens to me frequently too. An idea or poem just flows out of me. Elaine

Ah, another writer I will miss incredibly as I prepare to sign off in a few short days! It does seem we're all replaceable in the great reality show called life! (Ah, but we are not ~ each of us is special and unique in our own way!)

It's been a pleasure, sir!

    Dare I say, the thought of losing you as a fellow contributor is a pain I will bear unwillingly. If there were anything I could do to keep you here, I would do it without hesitation or reserve. You are a gift I do not even deserve, yet I treasure you completely. May the God of tender mercy bless you abundantly in the days to come.
