The Teeny prints news that they say's fit to print, Yet seldom admits they occasionally stint. That they rarely deserve to be termed rinky-dink Is of course what they'd like all their readers to think. So who'd have expected these guys to change gears, Ignoring the phrase they've exploited for years, While their Scooper contingent extends ev'ry where To Constantinople, D.C. and Bel Air? Wherever stuff happens that readers should read There's a Teeny News Scooper, or two. Yes indeed! But the flies in the ointment, as Bushie's been told, Are the Chief Scooperoos who put stories on hold. Supposing the Puny contingent's there first With News Scoopers scooping. They've already conversed With the monkeys whose business they've found worth reporting… Will the scooped Teeny Chief be cavorting and sporting? No longer is he Teeny Chief News Dispenser. The scooped Scooperoo's now a Puny Scoop Censor. If he didn't assign his News Scoopers in time, Regarding that scoop his paper's a mime. And his reader's won't learn, except maybe on-line, That the news fit to print had a stranger's byline. They won't hear it from him till he's darn good and ready, Which to in-the-dark readers appears downright petty, Which is why Bushie set up his False Scooperoonies, His All-Crony version of insurgent Sunnis. They dish out false news scoops, one scoop at a time, So only one Scooper gets word of the crime. This splitting the media keeps Bushie afloat – A scoop for one Scooper, an off-record quote, A Puny Chief prints it, but all others don't! Knowing misguided pride, Bushie's sure that they won't. What was bad news for Bushie's now a media blip, In addition to being a publishing gyp.
