The Headline

Take a moment if you will

To go beyond the headline, sir.

There’s more to this story

Than the first thing you see in type.

 

Be wary of that screaming header

And use your brain instead, ma’am.

Not every tale is as it appears

When first you begin to read.

 

They are designed to draw you in

But not give away the answer,

To elicit a response in some way

Whether that’s good, bad or ugly.

 

They can make you laugh out loud

Or take you to the verge of tears,

They can cause your blood to boil

Or fill you with indifference.

 

But they are not the whole story,

You must read and read and read.

And just when you think you’re done

You must go and read some more.
