Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- A hotel called police on a black guest for ‘loitering.’ He’s suing for $10 million. -- Chinese Government Bans Interviews With NBA Players, Won't Televise Their Games in China -- How do pancakes and maple syrup get more exciting? Turn them into a cake..

Hospitality ain't what it was/Stand still and someone calls the fuzz/to put you in stir/as some bad poseur/Their reasoning is: "Just because."

If I were in the NBA/from China I'd stay far away/No matter how much they might pay/they shut your mouth before you play/and afterwards you cannot say/if it is night or it is day/In China censorship holds sway/not like the good old USA.

A waffle cake with maple syrup

might cause me to really bur-rup.

Such a price I'd gladly pay

for a piece to eat each day.

And if I am not mistaken,

'twould be much better with some bacon!
