Verses from Headlines in today's Washington Post ** Commode caper: Someone steals solid-gold toilet — once offered to Trump White House — from British palace ** A teen told the restaurant he had a dairy allergy. Then his birthday meal killed him. ** Hong Kong police disperse protesters with tear gas and water cannon, stinging blue dye in 15th weekend of unrest.

It must be really really cold

to sit upon a toilet gold.

No wonder House of Windsor folk

look like they can't take a joke.

I never saw a chophouse yet

that didn't make my gut upset.

It's not the food that gives me grippe,

but how much they want for a tip!

Spending weekends in Hong Kong

for vacations now is wrong.

 Unless, of course, you like tear gas

and water cannons you can't pass.

If that's the case, feel free to stay

for masochistic holiday!
