Making It Up
I knew when he started to giggle
that he was going to cave in.
All evening he'd been chattering,
on and on, all a load of moonshine.
At any minute I had thought I
would wake up from his crazy, surreal world.
Mind you, a sudden awakening like that
can shatter all sense of anything
approaching the reality I seek.
Therefore, I decided to ride it out.
Anything he said I would write up later
and somehow make a scoop of it. My editor
would cut me in, I knew, and split
his ill-gotten gains with me.

You got a nice even and logical flow happening in this - I like it.
Cleverly made up.

I like the idea of writing to a set of given words Dave - it sharpens the mind.
LOL!! Another scoop, an editor and reporter working hand in glove!!
Breaking news for another channel!!:)
Made it up but could be true to life somewhere in another part of the world!!:)
A flawless performance! It was a delight to read.

Yes, I think so, though it didn't appeal to me for a long time and I avoided it, but I have found it useful for just that reason.

Yes, very made up, but largely assembled from bits I've heard somewhere sometime.
