2016 in Rhyme Review

The year is slowly passing by us,
filled with war and Zika virus.
The Middle East remains aflame;
Aleppo stands for grief and shame.
Brazil don't want its president;
and South Korea seems hell bent
to oust another Park, alas --
she wasn't quite an honest lass.
And Volkswagen is caught red-handed;
its measurements were not quite candid.
Brexit isolates the Brits
(confirming they are awful twits).
North Korea launches rockets.
Big Pharma fills its greedy pockets.
Fake news is all the news that's fit
the reading public to outwit.
We said goodbye to David Bowie,
Judge Scalia (boy, was he showy!)
Harper Lee and purple Prince
their hair no longer wash and rinse.
Bob Dylan gets a Nobel Prize
but stays surly -- no surprise.
And, of course, the Main Event;
the Donald made his great ascent
to be the nation's leader -- oy!
The path ahead looks corduroy.
We hope the New Year brings relief,
since this year was BEYOND BELIEF!
