Tabloid!

  For over ten minutes I've stood here, The line is exceptionally long,   For one fleeting minute, I'll briefly peek in it,   Embarrassed, my will's not that strong;   If seeing is somehow believing, Then I'm thinking this just might be true,   Bemused and beguiled, By the half toothless smile,   Of the "New Mom At Age 82";   This can't get any more stranger, An oddity, truly sublime,   A frog-faced man, Pays Uncle Sam,   Back taxes he owes -- in shrimp brine!   Now maybe I'm just being skeptic, Education has gone to my brain,   But I just can't see, How Muhammad Ali,   Could be running the bulls down in Spain.   Aliens touch down to greet us, What an act of goodwill and of mercy,   But why in the hell, Would they wish us well,   Through two people from northern New Jersey.   Now, Imelda's ghost has been summoned, Shhh....she has something to say,   Bequeathing her shoes,  But the really big news,   Is they're already up on E-Bay.   I was thinking I'd just pass the time, And never imagined I'd savor,   This soft covered tar, 'Til I glance up afar,   To find I've been caught by my neighbor!
