Senators Scramble to Advance Tax Bill That Increasingly Rewards Wealthy
A Senator once told a pauper
“You must have a spirit that’s proper;
The rich need more dough
Than you, Shoeless Joe,
Or the GNP will come a-cropper!”
Casting Wall Street as Victim, Trump Leads Deregulatory Charge
On Wall Street the stockbrokers weep;
The bankers are all losing sleep.
With so many laws
There’s no Santa Claus
Until Trump can find one that’s cheap.
Trump and Russia Seem to Find Common Foe: The American Press
Nobody likes a nosy press; it’s too close to the bone
When sniffing out the maladroit, the tawdry, and the clone.
A free press is a menace to the peace of mind of those
Who don’t know how to govern but just love to sit and pose.
Lurking in Toilets, Swimming the Streets: Snakes of Bangkok Move In
Lurking in toilets, swimming in streets,
Reptiles in Bangkok are looking for eats.
A bug or an egg or a bird or a toe,
They’ll get you from drains or lurk in your chapeau.
Don’t put on your shoes till you’ve checked for a viper,
And never turn off your car’s new windshield wiper;
For geckos and frogs and amphibians riot
All over your car to augment their wide diet.
A python will slither right up to your chair,
Looking for mice while it raises your hair.
The tropics may be a relief from Jack Frost,
But I’ll take a blizzard that snakes will accost.
RIGHT NOW Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said they were pulling out of a White House meeting after President Trump attacked them in a tweet.
Our country is ruled by the tweet.
Consensus admits to defeat.
Democrats, bitter
About ev’ry twitter
From Trump only show their conceit.
When playing at marbles the terms
Do not allow any cheap squirms --
So taking them home
Betrays a syndrome
That smacks of the finest law firms.
‘Ghost Guns,’ Homemade and Untraceable, Face Growing Scrutiny
Americans passion for guns
Has killed many daughters and sons.
But still we persist
In raising our fist
For gun rights, despite the reruns.
