Monkey Business

Scams aplenty, scandals galore,

steal headlines every day.
Anchors squeal, cameramen focus,
strive to keep ratings high.
Spin-doctors held, beans spilled,
more abettors in the dock.
Some quiver, others careless,
evidence blow the masks away.
Many more, lose sleep,
net widens day-by-day.
Unmerited choice, simian antics, 

blew the lid off the latest one.
Fables say, never trust,
the bloody monkey in the pack.
