Hold the presses!
(as if they do that anymore.)
Alert the media!
(as if they don’t monitor Twitter.)
LeBron has decided to change his number.
Forget downed airplanes,
Mideast war,
immigrants amassing at the border.
Lebron has changed his number.
Old Cleveland jerseys are newly popular.
Hello, #23 again, goodbye #6.
Forget Ebola outbreak in West Africa,
wildfires in the west,
tornadoes in the south.
Table those stories for now.
What? A presidential news conference? Forget about it.
Putin gone wild,
Palin gone rogue.
Lebron has changed his number.
That’s your new lead.
It’s the only story that matters.
Extra! Extra! Lebron has changed his number.
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
