Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Letterman Can

I'm David Letterman, I am.
Been on late night airwaves so long,
That I don't really give a damn
That some jokes I make may be wrong.
Sarah Palin's kids are fair game.
They're in the news and public eye.
First get the laugh - hell with the blame.
Boosting my ratings - that's the why.
The CBS suits won't cross me.
Imus got fired for what he did
'Cause he crossed the line racially.
No such fallout with a WASP kid.

Spewing foul filth is how I work.
That's why I'm a rich, powered jerk.
