Notes This rhyming poem is a short commentary on the influence of the media, however short-term its headlines are. Mention in the poem of a dead soldier, although the war is not specified. The shallowness of media is highlighted by the speaker of the poem - stale headlines, plámás-ing obituaries, and so forth - while he enjoys the birth notices.
