I feel wrinkly,
Oh, so wrinkly,
I feel wrinkly, and gritty and grey,
And I pity
the man who is me today.
I feel deadly,
Oh, so deadly–
It’s warming how deadly I feel,
And so wealthy
That I only can believe I’m real.
See the wealthy man in The Mirror there:
Who can that repellant man be?
Such a ugly face,
Such a ugly mess,
Such a ugly smile,
Such a ugly me!
I feel like hacking
And bullying–
Feel like thumping and humping for joy,
For I’m loved
By a mercenary crew!

Have you met my good friend Rupert,
The richest man on the block?
You’ll know him the minute you see him–
He’s the one who is in an advanced
State of shock.
He thinks he’s innocent.
He thinks he’s in Pain.
He isn’t innocent,
He’s merely insane.
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to beat,
Or maybe it’s greed.
Keep away from him –
Send for James!
This is not the Rupert
We know!
Modest and pure,
Polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature
And out of his mind!
RUPERT
I feel wealthy,
Oh, so wealthy
That the city should give me its key.
Organize a Senate committee
to honor me.
I feel smarmy
I feel Wendi,
I feel I deserve no time,
And so wealthy,
David Cameron can just resign!
See the wealthy man in The Mirror there:
JAMES, REBEKKAH, LACHLAN
What Edition where?
RUPERT
Who can that very wealthy man be?
JAMES, REBEKKAH, LACHLAN
Which? What? Where? Whom?
RUPERT
Such a ugly face,
Such a ugly mess,
Such a ugly smile,
Such a ugly me!
ALL
I feel like hacking
And bullying–
Feel like thumping and humping for joy,
For I’m loved
By Rush Limbaugh too!

LOL! Clever. A satire to do the ancient Greeks proud. Recc’d.
Wow, that’s a lot more thought and effort than a bastard like Murdoch deserves.
Murdoch is an evil man but his face has nothing to do with it. He is old, if old faces bother you I suggest you either find a way to get over it or remove any mirrors in your house so you don’t have to look at your old face when and if you get old yourself.
Wow. Self-righteous much?

Now, THAT’S funny!
Yeah baby!
I LOVE watching the fall of the House of Murdoch. I can’t believe how much power he has (had) over 10 Downing Street.
And my best new sources for this ongoing drama is still Vanity Fair.

I am sorry you don’t agree. My hope is that, in the future, you may be more likely to notice gratuitous judgement by appearance.
Old people are funny.
Some old people are mean and it shows in their ugliness.
Some old people have developed a great sense of humor.
I asked my aunt how it felt to be 105 years old. She said, Its awful. I look in the mirror and I see a monster. I don’t want to go out in public. My aunt was an intelligent, caring person, a good mother, neighbor,etc. etc., so sad to see her feeling that way about herself. Sometimes when men age they lose the self esteem they had from their ability to dominate and can’t replace it with anything else. Some times they get depressed, angry, are in a lot of pain and need help, but being male, can’t accept help easily. Note I said “some men…” and remember, “Judge not, that ye be judged” when your turn comes, you should live so long. Murdoch’s undesirable qualitities have nothing to do with his years.
