China’s legislature formally scrapped term limits on
Xi Jinping’s presidency, clearing his path toward
indefinite one-man rule.

Term limits are such a dull bore.

They get in the way of the chore

To scorn and then crush

All this Liberty mush --

The Chinese appreciate gore.

American workers, for the first time, are discovering
how much employees earn at the biggest U.S.
companies and how that pay compares with
the chief executive’s.

So now that I know that my chief

Is making such money, the grief

And the rage are intense

That such recompense

Must go to that cold side of beef.

The White House is expected to release a plan on Sunday
that would urge states to consider raising the age to buy certain
firearms and would recommend that states allow school staffers
to carry concealed weapons, according to White House officials
who have been briefed on the proposal.

The janitor has got a gun, so when he empties trash

If he should spot a threat he can then shoot it all to smash.

And the ladies serving lunch are packing heat these days --

You never know when mashed potatoes might go on a craze.

Don’t mess with the librarian when down the hall you run --

That’s not a book she’s carrying, but a gatling gun.

So if in public schools you find yourself a student stuck,

Not only learn your ABC’s but also learn to duck!
