Reverse abecedarianism

An XYZ poem

(Written in response to a Gippy Poets challenge)

We've all heard of ABC,

Who have brought you such hits as

ABC News 24,

Play School,

And ABC Radio National.

Well, now the government has announced -

XYZ!

(We'll work out what the acronym stands for later.)

The XYZ network -

The evil version of the ABC!

Instead of Play School -

We'll have Slay School!

Instead of Bananas in Pyjamas -

Bananas. No Pyjamas!

(A fruity show for adult audiences!)

And, our masterstroke -

This is what makes us truly evil -

XYZ will be based on an entirely new business model:

Instead of funding the production of television shows through taxes,

XYZ will now pay your taxes to you

In order for you NOT to watch them.

XYZ!

An exciting new initiative in the bold world of new media!
