HEADLINES & VERSE. Wednesday. August 16. 2017

BLUE COLLAR WORKERS ARE A VANISHING BREED IN AMERICA

The blue collar worker today
Is threatened in many a way:
By robots and skill
That’s over the hill --

Robbing him of decent pay.


HOLLYWOOD BIAS AGAINST THE OBESE CONTINUES UNCHECKED

Since Hollywood treats the obese
As less than a spot of old grease,
I’ll boycott their work
Till they learn to shirk
A viewpoint that’s only for geese.


BALTIMORE AVOIDS UGLY PROTESTS BY STEALTHILY REMOVING CONFEDERATE STATUES IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

A statue of Robert E. Lee
In Baltimore fell quietly.
As darkness descended
The Colonel’s reign ended
And B’more gained more liberty.
