Ode to Peter Jennings

I love Peter Jennings
he's so debonair
with his self-assured speech,
a little gray in his hair.
On those sad days
when disaster strikes
with his shirt-sleeves rolled up
he gets me through the night.
Terrorists, kidnappings,
murders and anthrax
Peter spells it all out
he's got all the facts.
I don't care that he's been married
three times, no, four,
Peter is still welcome
at my bedroom door.
He's older than my dad
but he's smarter than hell,
and older men do some things
exceedingly well.
On September 11,
you can find me
spending the day with Peter Jennings
on ABC.
