Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- A Facebook policy lets politicians lie in ads, leaving Democrats fearing what Trump will do -- Jane Fonda plans climate change civil disobedience on the Capitol steps -- These fish can live on land and breathe air. Authorities suggest you kill them on sight..

Donald told a little lie,

a white one, to be sure.

He told it just to keep us safe

from bad guys so impure.

And then he told another one,

and one more for the road,

until the fibs took over

and his hubris overflowed.

And now the lies are ev'rywhere

and truth is on the run.

Trump knows Facebook is his pimp;

he's having lots of fun!

Dear Jane; I hope you'll unnerstan

that I must be your biggest fan.

I love your films and workout flicks;

they're for the ages, not just chicks.

You stand up to the oligarchs

and never consort with the narcs.

But, my dear, it's time you're told

that you are stale and you are old.

If climate change you would confront

go buy a house with ocean front,

then wait inside until the day

the rising tide floats you away . . .

The predatory snakefish eats

most ev'ry other fish it meets;

The bluegill and the harmless carp

are snapped up by its teeth so sharp.

It breathes the air and immigrates

to further lakes in many states.

If you should see one, strike before

it gnaws away your wooden oar.

If we let this creature burgeon

soon there won't be any sturgeon!
