Our Press Accomplices
by DCDave

They told us to heed the family
In the so-called "suicide" of Vince.
What else did you expect them to do
In the absence of evidence?

But now with the death of Cliff Baxter,
We don't hear from the family at all.
There's just one conclusion to come to:
The family is not playing ball.

There are others thus snubbed by the press.
They're the ones they'd prefer you forget.
You may learn of them on the Internet site
Of the parents of Tommy Burkett.

David Martin
