The Stranger From The Manger

Anchor takes the sound stage

Ignoring acknowledging the college credit page

Earning below minimum wage

Reading a teleprompter script

Created by viewers supplying credible tips

Or second hand well distributed newspaper clips

Passes one hour

Visual know it alls, no longer have the power

Jane was certain

Closing the news curtain

Last sixty minutes were gold

Advertisers' happy products sold

Staring into the make-up mirror that reflects

Reminding her details needed a cross check

Securing information distribution respect

“Did you miss anything?

Hint, hint, where’s the ring?”

Whispered a stranger

Known for being in a manger

“No, I did not!”

Jane sounded like a snot

Discarding her mask

Grabbing the get happy flask

“Yes, you did,”

Stranger, claimed Jane fibbed

“Two maturing individuals, they kissed

Is what you missed

They are in love

Blessed from heaven above

Next scene

These two teens

Made a life

Vowed together, husband and wife”

What does this have to do with my afternoon delight part

Reading news from the heart

“Adolescent girl is yours

One you created vacationing on the romantic European shores

You my dear, never said a word

For us to record

Until your lovely contribution

Started the family solution

Came out

Forcing the producer to shout

‘Take five

Baby Jane is alive!’

You kept that from us

Wondering if it was fun filled lust”

“I am sorry the star apologized

Knowing she covered up her one-night lie

Coming to grips her child

Experienced a moment that was wild

Kept the surprise quiet

Parenthood plan, hide it

In the closet with the brooms

Space there for what was in her womb

Staying calm

Mom

Will never see the hump

Belly bump

Jane retired

Rumors wrong, she was fired

Enjoying, saying good night

To her little knight

Bundled with joy

Padding the void

Loving the embrace

With a smile on the face

Innocent and good

Could

One day be the gossip in town

Turning the audience's frown

All around

Realizing the stranger’s sacrificial forgiveness took everyone down
