I tell you the truth but never speak,
I bring you the news you want to seek.
I have a headline but no head,
and stories that must all be read.
I chase every writer, day and night,
I make editors work until it’s right.
Miss me once and you might be in trouble,
but meet me on time and your work will be published.
I’m the first thing readers see,
with bold black words that speak for me.
I showcase stories big and small,
and try to make you read them all.
