Headlines & Verse. Monday. July 3. 2017

REFUGEES SHUN THE U.S. AS OUR EVIL REPUTATION SENDS THEM TO SAFER HAVENS


Trump makes the U.S. so haunting
That refugees find us too daunting.
They’ll try Mexico,
And not Chicago

(our murder rates we should keep flaunting . . . )


FREEDOM OF THE PRESS UNDER ATTACK IN AMERICA. SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW? 


The Press likes to think it’s unique
In not being able to speak
The truth anymore --
But there are a score

Of those who prefer the oblique



If I were a rabbit this year
I might be inclined to adhere
To packing some heat,
To make the punks fleet
When they make a grab at my ear.



NABISCO EXPERIMENTS WITH OREO MAKEOVER -- ARE THERE NO STANDARDS LEFT IN THE WORLD?


They’re messin’ with the Oreo -- although they say they’re not.
This really gets my goat and ties my stomach in a knot.
Who are they to tinker with a cookie so complete
That all you need is milk to be ecstatically replete?
Experiment with anything you like, but if you change
A single crumb of Oreo your face I’ll rearrange!



NEW STUDY FINDS YOUNG MEN WOULD RATHER PLAY VIDEO GAMES THAN FIND A JOB 

Our video games are so cool
They keep our young men out of school --
They spend ev’ry day
At video play,

And won’t get wet in the job pool.
