"Only What They Choose To Print"


(The New York Times)

Easy to remember
And damned hard to forget:
Passwords to the Times On-Line,
Which isn't working yet.

Ninety-nine cents down the drain.
They don't like my password?
"Bullshit" isn't "fit to print."
Who's got a synonym for "turd"?

But their website's having trouble.
Ninety-nine cents squandered.
Why the hell should they insist
My password must be laundered?

My password seems appropriate
For what I was about to read:
News censored to accommodate
What their flunkies think we need.
