(A play on words inspired by “You Are My Sunshine”)
You are my front page, my daily headline,
You keep me posted, come rain or shine.
You bring the scoops that make life brighter—
With Sunday comics and fonts much lighter.
The classifieds know I’ve been searching,
For crossword clues that keep me lurching.
You toss your heart right on my lawn,
Wrapped in bylines and breaking dawn.
You are my sunshine, in print and ink,
My morning brew and caffeine think.
You weather my storms with forecasts near,
And bring the funny pages when joy is dear.
Don’t take my paper, my darling press,
It’s not just news, it’s how I express.
A love affair with smudged fingertips,
And editorials with sassy quips.
So keep delivering, you noble knight,
On your two-wheeled steed in morning light.
For though the world may scroll away—
You’re my sunshine in newsprint, day by day.
