Headlines & Verse. Thursday. July 20. 2017

URUGUAY LEGALIZES MARIJUANA -- FARMACIAS DO LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.


When strolling La Rambla today
Don’t let the strong fumes make you sway.
You’ll just have to cope
With all the strong dope

while citizens all shout 'Ole!'



CALVIN TRILLIN WRITES AMAZING BOOKS -- BUT HE NEVER ANSWERED MY FAN LETTER

I once wrote a note to Cal Trillin --
He never wrote back, which is chillin’
I think writers ought
To be better taught
With readers who find their books thrillin’



CHINA IS BEING VERY 'HELPFUL' TO ITS NEIGHBORS -- BUT THEY'D BETTER REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO TIBET . . .

A dragon may do a good deed
With competence and fateful speed.
But trusting the wile
Of such a reptile
Will just make it eager to feed.




PLASTIC BAGS OUTNUMBER PEOPLE -- THEY'LL BE BLOWING INTO TREES LONG AFTER MANKIND IS GONE

If you would live longer than long
Then plastics should be your theme song --
Despite time’s sharp blades
It never degrades --

So eat it like sweet scuppernong.
