Charles Osgood.
"The news of the day is so goofy at times, it just seems to fit into couplets and rhymes"
--Charles Osgood's explanation of how he conveys the news in poetry.

PoliSat.Com's Tribute to Charles Osgood.

    Among those whose writing is best, 
    Charles Osgood surpasses the rest.
    There isn't a time 
    he can't make a rhyme 
    that's clever and passes the test.

    There should be a Rhyme Hall of Fame 
    where first should be entered his name.
    His rhyming is flawless 
    without being thoughtless, 
    which makes him the best in the game. © 2000 PoliSat.Com.

About Charles Osgood:

The Osgood File:
"The news of the day is so goofy at times, it just seems to fit into couplets and rhymes" is CBS News Correspondent Charles Osgood's way of explaining why, form time to time, he reports the news in poetry instead of prose. Often called CBS News' "poet in residence," Osgood writes most of his verse for his four weekday broadcasts on CBS Radio. On this series, instead of concentrating on up-to-the-minute hard news (the latest word from the battlefield or Capitol Hill), his specialty is so-called "soft news," the peripheral, non-cosmic, off-beat story.  (Quotation from KNX on-line radio schedule for The Osgood Files).
