Analysis of Stay Tuned!
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
How is it possible,
That what is dumb to do.
Noticeably getting dumber.
Seems to have many competing,
As contestants in a race.
Rushing towards the finish line.
Wanting it proven with it wished...
More than one of them,
Will be chosen and picked.
As the Ultimate Dummy Or Dummies,
Of all times.
'Folks?
Stay tuned!
It seems our contestants,
Approaching us...
Have grown in number.
As astonishing as it is.
And appears more like a stampede.
Than a competition,
It had intended to be!
Folks?
Let's hope...
We all are not about to witness,
A catastrophe!
