Europa Poets' Gazette No 73

I Read It In The Advocate
I read it in The Advocate.
So does that mean it’s true?
Can you trust a news sheet?
Is the answer there for you?
If you read The Advocate
Believing every written word,
Chances are that’s OK
News better seen than heard?
Yet reading through The Advocate
You’ll occasionally see
Some errors in reporting
That bothers you and me.
But as I read my Advocate
I seldom criticise.
For all the local news I need
Is there before my eyes.
So I’ll always read The Advocate,
Cartoons and crosswords, too.
And as for criticising,
Well, I’ll leave it up to you!
