Verses from Stories in the Washington Post -- Shut Down D.C.: ‘Climate rebels’ shut down intersections across the District -- She left a can of dry shampoo in her car. It blasted a hole through the roof. -- Trump says he is worthy of a Nobel Prize ‘for a lot of things’ — but isn’t treated fairly.

What do climate rebels want,

as their banners they do flaunt?

Cleaner air, no greenhouse gas?

Carbon footprints made of glass?

Are they real or are they fake?

(Me, I think they're part fruitcake.)

With the press they like to ham

(while they cause a traffic jam.)

While their motive may be pure,

hot air warms our globe for sure.

Beauty aids are such a curse;

they only make things much more worse.

A homely face like mine defies

all lotions, creams, and compromise.

A can of dry shampoo to me

would really be insanity.

So girl, when you have fixed your car

shun aerosols for caviar!

Give him medals, an award;

ANYTHING, so he's not bored!

He wants baubles to collect,

to display and to inspect?

Give him golden loving cup --

just as long as he shuts up.

Find a halo made of tin;

put it on his head to spin.

If he's busy taking bows,

no more chaos can he rouse . . .
