From the Wall Street Journal. Monday April 2 2018





The Trump administration’s commitment to coal
is under its stiffest test yet after an Ohio energy
company made a plea to favor that power source
over its many rivals, including oil and natural gas,
in a clash that could end with higher costs for consumers.


When coal is the love of your life,
There’s bound to be somewhat of strife.
If you make a pass
at oil or at gas
You might find your back holds a knife!


From Kicker Daily News


A soccer fan kissed a reporter
During a lively first quarter.
Such lack of decorum
Would lead any quorum
To snap his athletic supporter.


. . .  a growing body of research over the past decade
shows that a healthy diet—high in fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, fish and unprocessed lean red meat—
can prevent depression. And an unhealthy diet—
high in processed and refined foods—increases the risk
for the disease in everyone, including children and teens.
So ‘comfort food’ is but a myth?
I’m sorry, but I must insith
That burgers and fries
Make my spirits rise --
Besides, they’re so hard to resith!




And, on the subject of push alerts:

I always get a push alert when in my Subaru;
But there’s no autopilot so I don’t know what to do.
I’d like to give the story the attention it deserves,
Without a near collision when I’m going round the curves.

But when I’m in a meeting at the office that’s a bore,
A push alert keeps me awake so that I never snore.
The boss is getting wise to these divertissements, alas,
And has installed a tabletop that’s made of see-through glass.

I never seem to get a push alert at Starbucks, where
I have a lot of caffeine and long hours I can spare.
Instead they act as sort of an unpleasant morning goad

While I’m busy thinking on my porcelein commode.
