The accidental yellowist---
She was penny dreadful and pound foolish---
always going on and on
and on
about the wouldashouldacoulda of it all

after word balloon
after radio bubbles
were all up in the air---
colliding as such
Apparently sensationalism was coming down the Alley
always the Examiner at hand
in the shadow of Nellie Bly

with the fearlessness of Annie Laurie
and the caption would read: Yours very truly 
very nice, almost sappy sweet in its delivery. Whose signature is that?
