Headlines & Verse. Sunday. July 16. 2017.

NOVELIST KWAME ALEXANDER THINKS POETRY IS THE NEXT BIG TREND FOR AMERICAN TEENS 


Are limericks really a sin,
Worse than addiction to gin?
Usually punning,
They rarely are cunning --

And must cause the angels chagrin . . .



EAST COAST CATHOLIC CARDINALS JOUST OVER SAME SEX UNIONS 

There’s plenty of room for dispute
When Catholic cardinals toot
Their own strict agenda
About genda benda --

Oh, when will this thing become moot?



Jeff Sessions thinks God is undone --
That sinners now have all the fun.
What he doesn’t know
Is that here below
God’s mercy is dropped by the ton.

SPIRITUAL LEADERS IN CHINA TELL POLLUTERS -- 'CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!'


In China the air is so foul
it makes even Buddha to scowl.
Lao Tzu doth decry
The lakes where fish die --
And placid Confucius might howl.


TRUMP LAWYERS IMPLICATE SECRET SERVICE IN WIDENING RUSSIAN SCANDAL


When lawyers conspire to lie
It makes them as happy as pie.
Their tongues, like corkscrews,
Cannot give out news

That isn’t completely awry.
