From the Wall Street Journal. Friday March 23 2018




President Donald Trump threatened Friday morning to veto
a sweeping spending bill just hours after it passed both
chambers of Congress, despite assurances from White
House officials and GOP leaders that he supported it.


Congress may vote as it chooses,
But Trump plans on giving it bruises.
Like some child at game
He vetoes sans shame
Whenever his temper he loses.


Pedestrians were victims of about 15% of traffic fatalities in 2017,
with the estimated 6,000 pedestrian deaths representing a level not seen
in 25 years, according to a report released last month by the Governors
Highway Safety Association.


Pedestrians get in the way
Of traffic most all of the day.
They think a crosswalk
Is someplace to gawk --
So they get squashed like a beret.


The crocodile skin business is booming, with especially strong
demand from Asia, and Australia’s crocs are coveted for their
particularly fine skin patterns—American alligators tend to
have horny backs—and because more of the hide can be used.


A gator came from Adelaide,
Skinned into purses all made
For just the beau monde
To be really conned
By prices blown up like grenade.
