[MAGBAG]      [THINGS WE LEARNED]      [TABLOID HEADLINES]
[STRANGE PHENOMENA]     [WHY MAGAZINES ARE BETTER]

by Mike Oelrich

Laid out on the racks so orderly

Cosmo, Spin, and Gentleman's Quarterly

Glistening in rows so sleekly

Rolling Stone, EGM, and Pro Football Weekly.

More informative than Brinkley & Huntley

are Newsweek, Time, and Washington Monthly.

A perfect gift for holiday giving

Elle or Vogue or Martha Stewart Living.

Though some might find some issues a snooze

(Check Bus World, Blade, and Shotgun News)

Another ish can be quite a corker --

Just take a look at the new New Yorker!

One magazine that's always a whopper,

the most massive monthly -- Computer Shopper.

Other 'zines are somewhat smaller

like TV Guide or Trapper & Predator Caller.

From Esquire, U.S. News & World Report,

Maxim, Flex and Auto Motor und Sport,

to Mademoiselle and Seventeen,

Reader's Digest and Bike Magazine,

Taken alone they're all quite grand

But taken together they make a newsstand!
