A Pair of Schillers
Have got a big problem... did they go too far?
Viv ran the show as the C-E-O
Of National Public Radio.
A big fuss ensued when they fired Juan
'Cause they didn't like his comments, they said: "So long!"
Viv lost her bonus, but she kept her job -
For the time being - as the big nabob.
Ron (no relation) was a senior veep;
He got himself in trouble that was really deep.
He said some nasty things in a secret video
'Bout them "Tea Party racists and xenophobes."
Fund-raiser Ron left his bosses stunned
When he said "Let's get rid of all Federal funds..."
The Board of Directors at N-P-R
Said of the Schillers: "Now they've gone too far!!"
Ron's already gone; it's time for Viv to quit,
We'll accept her resignation 'with regret...' "
A pair of Schillers just got the heave-ho
From National Public Radio...

Well put!
Excellent! :-)
They've had some major problems recently.
This one brought a smile.
very good.
Great job with the poem! I'm not a fan of all these hidden videos and tapes. Like everything, NPR is a mix of positive and negative. This time the negatives won out.
Great job here, as always
hilarious
Great play on words and names, Mike, an an apt metaphor for the shillers.
