Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- A Mexico mayor failed to fix roads as promised, so angry townspeople dragged him through the streets -- ‘At a certain point, you just lose it:’ Passengers revolt and riot aboard Norwegian Spirit cruise ship -- The famously secluded Amish are the target of a Republican campaign to drum up Pennsylvania votes for Trump.

When public officials refuse

to listen to citizen's views,

ignoring their will

will serve them but ill --

they're dragged off right out of their shoes.

When passengers mutiny use

to protest a captain's abuse,

the crew shouldn't spank

or say 'Walk the plank!' --

Instead they should just serve more booze.

The Amish conservative be.

They don't even watch the TV.

The bribe of a goat

may get one to vote --

but he would be shunned by decree.
