Early Draft Of Dan Rather’s Last Words As A TV Anchor

by Tony Peyser

“I may not have homered each time out
But I was never ashamed to bunt.
Am I still proud of CBS News?
Let me tell you: that dog can hunt.

Thank you, kind viewers, for so many
Sweet memories for this Texas codger
Sorry, Dubya, for the forgeries but ...
You’re still a drunk and a draft-dodger.”
