I am the Newspaper, vivid and wonderful, Solemnly ponderous, gorgeously blunderful, Wildly omniscient and sagely Socratic, Daring, defiant, progressive, erratic, High philosophical, bold metaphysical, Jauntily, flippantly, saucily quizzical, Coolly unprejudiced, bitterly partisan, Flaying the millionaire, petting the artisan, Comic, dramatic, domestic, artistic, Airily ethical, brutally fistic, Slave of the counting-room, foe of hypocrisy, Knave of the nabob and boss of democracy, Nastily sensual, saintly sermonic, Partly in earnest and wholly sardonic, Not quite a buzzard, assuredly not a lamb, I am the Newspaper: pray tell me what I am. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE BOY LOST, FR.
