My creativity (or lack thereof)

Someone on ColbertNation.com posted a challenge for writers to write some catchy poem or story to post. So, I sat down at the computer, and tried my hand. This is what I came up with.

Twas a night like any other and all through the land
The people were worried 'bout the times 'twere at hand.
Television was dying, the shows were all crap.
You had sports, reality or some kind of weird sap.
And then, in October of 2005,
Someone came to make tv seem more alive.
A man, in a dark suit, and a smart, sexy tie,
And behind his glasses, a sharp look in his eye.
He spoke from his gut, and the people rejoiced.
They all turned to the tv at the sound of his voice.
He informed them of evils, like books, bears, the cast of Friends.
He made sure they knew of the right pop culture trends.
Television was back, and it had a new king.
And he blew them away again, when they found he could sing!
They'd show their appreciation any way that they can.
First a bridge, then a mascot, then People's Sexiest Man (well, almost).
What will he do next? Only he knows.
Every day his popularity grows and grows.
And we keep watching tv, cuz we've got to have more
Of those five little words, This is the Colbert Report!
