Its April of 2017 and Day 25 of A to Z Challenge. I am doing Idiom a day and 8 line poem for the idiom.
Idiom: Yellow Press
Meaning: a term for the popular and sensationalist newspapers
Poem:
Breaking bad,
Is the breaking news,
Shockingly sad,
Is the media rules,
The aim was, may be,
A yellow Press.
But now is all,
A shitty yellow!
Note: All the challenge prompts can be found HERE.
Its PH 
I have worked for a leading English daily for ten years and it’s something I have always been very proud of…But in the last few years, media has really downgraded so much…The last sentence of the poem aptly sums it up.

Idiom: You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Meaning: It is impossible to achieve anything important without causing a few problems.
You whack at something
And ceaselessly get hit out against it
With a plethora of nags
Press on unflagging
For you can’t make an omelette
Without breaking eggs.

An ugly image in more ways than one. You are hilarious at times. I think you would be very good at narrative poetry. Your next challenge perhaps?
