Give me a big, fat,
ugly woman
and a big, fat, ugly
man
in normal everyday clothes
to read the news on
TV.
Give me faces with
shaving cuts,
freckles, acne and scars,
hairy nostrils and
yellow teeth
to report what's happening.
Give me real people
who fart
and belch on air, scratch,
sniff, snort and
sneeze,
using their sleeves as
hankies.
Give me flesh and
blood,
give me ums and errs,
give me the plain-Jane passer-by,
give me Mr and Mrs
Ordinary from the shop queue.
To hell with robocaster,
to hell with autocue,
to hell with lip gloss,
to hell with style and stylists,
to hell with the rush to airbrush.
Just tell me what’s
going on in the world!
