I sing karaoke Last night I sang Weird Al Yankovic's Headline News In the song there is a reference to Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan In the 1994 Winter Olympics Tonya hired someone to club Nancy's leg The attack was a failure as the attacker missed the knee and hit the leg Nancy was able to recover and still get the silver medal in figure skating With all the bad press and a broken shoe lace Tonya stumbled big time Tonya failed to medal at all and was later banned from the sport for life The performance ranked #11 of all TV shows ever on television And the only Olympics that ranked as one of the most watched I like ski jumping the best with curling a close second I do watch the figure skating too

About this poem:
I have been watching the Winter Olympics and remembering the news of Tonya Harding. Now we have the whole school shooting news from Florida eclipsing the headlines right now.
