In South Carolina the state
Gives online retailers a spate
Of taxes to pay,
Or face an affray
That gouges them into checkmate.
NEW YORK MAYOR DE BLASIO CRIES UP THE OLD CLICHE: 'SOAK THE RICH!'
De Blasio thinks that the rich
Inhabit no privileged niche --
The Big Apple mayor
Is not a team player,
And wants to tax ev’ry silk stitch.
AMATEUR RED SOX PITCHER THROWS FIRST BALL OF SEASON INTO PHOTOGRAPHER
Beware of pitchers on the mound whose aim is vacillating --
They leave behind them bumps that tend to swell and be pulsating.
If you are ever on the mound, a first pitch to deliver,
Keep it straight and simple -- do not hesitate or quiver.
But if you have to bean someone and send them to perdition,
Try and make it someone who is just a politician . . .
CONGRESS TO SLAP 'CARBON TAX' ON NATION'S LARGEST POLLUTERS
Carbon is a dirty word; nobody seems to like it.
If it were a punching bag, then ev’ryone would strike it.
So Congress wants to tax the stuff to make it go away.
(Or maybe they just want the dough for some black rainy day.)
If carbon is so bad for us then why the great abundance?
It must good for something, since it’s always in redundance.
Can’t they turn it into fuel or something good to eat?
Can’t they mold it so it makes cheap shoes for tired feet?
When Congress really wants to cure this formidable impasse
They can stop their talking -- which is mostly greenhouse gas.
