The Final Minute

The final minute’s ticked its last

For “60 Minutes”’ time has passed.

A word of warning should suffice –

Its murderer was Bari Weiss.

 

First Anderson announced he’d leave;

His absence will make many grieve.

Then double axes heaved a chop,

Letting 2 reporters drop.

 

The Sharyn and Cecilia bust

Removed 2 women I did trust

To tell the stories, blow by blow,

The public has a right to know.

 

When Ms. Alfonsi spoke her mind

About a cancelled show, she’d find

The bigwigs didn’t like her nerve;

Her canning she did not deserve.

 

But worst of all was letting go

Scott Pelley, who, as we all know.

Was “60 Minutes”’ heart and soul

And perfect for his starring role.

 

He pulled no punches and did speak

With well-placed anger; his critique

Cost him his job. Ms. Weiss sure botched

A show we eagerly once watched.
