Here and there
they’re everywhere.
in-line, online
abusive, benign
in blurred newsprint
and excused misprint
Twittering away
face–booking their wisdoms
casual gurus
proffering help
offering opinion
Pointing their gun
complaining about how it was done
Gogglebox savants
of limited talents
displaying their predictive powers
from their remote ivory towers
deriding what they saw
laying down their cod law
always knowing better
down to the letter
Seeing through the haze
configuring the maze
arm’s length judgement
posing as sentiment
Sports star, celebrity
politician, nonentity
Academic or Bystander
give us candour or slander
cook, medic, dancer
do give us your answer
please feed us your views
comment on the news
Yes, obligatory opinions
on everything
on everyone
by everyone
for everyone
Don’t tell me to keep quiet
I can’t hear you
constructive deafness
selective amnesia
We need pundits and experts
but please play it fair
most are mere wannabes
balloons in the air
