Magazines and Zines song

Listen up all you muckrakers
all you truthers or fakers
Let me tell you about
An invention that turned the world inside out
First the who, Ben Franklin
We should all really thank him
Now the what, magazines
Invented in the seventeens
1741 to be precise
Accuracy is always nice
It was called General
It's creation was instrumental
In the media of today
Back then the content was pretty okay
Compiled a wide range of subjects
Ranging from the simple to the complex
Every journalist should pay respects
It wasn't one of the usual suspects
Like Entertainment Weekly or The Enquirer
Of that cheap tabloid I'm not an admirer
The New York Times is the mag with the most
But what magazine came first, is the Sat Evening Post
That was published in 1821
Must've been a ton of fun
Magazines encouraged literacy
This was done deliberately
A serial novel chapter was published monthly
Because not to put it bluntly
People back then were not so well read
Oh well, better than being dead
Now, now though, 1879
Thats the day when the industry started to shine
That's when the Postal Act was passed
Oh thank God, at long last
Now magazines could be mailed a cent per pound
That was quite the money saver, people found.

I really enjoyed the lecture on Magazines, and wanted to write a different type of post, i don't know if thats okay to do, but at least its somewhat creative.
