Verses from Today's New York Times. ** Fiona Hill Testifies ‘Fictions’ on Ukraine Pushed by Trump Help Russia. ** Arab Thinkers Call to Abandon Boycotts and Engage With Israel. ** China’s Vaping Boom Alarms the Government.

Politically driven falsehoods
are President Trump's stock-in-trade;
He sells 'em to every sucker
like watered down warm lemonade.
He's gonna cry 'Wolf' once too often,
and even his cronies will cringe,
when Americans finally kick him
right in his stupendous white fringe!

Love thy neighbor, if you can --
otherwise, a true wise man
will put up with what can't be
changed in modern history.
Jews and Arabs need to learn
there's no shame in a u-turn.

In China vaping was the way
to have a generous payday.
They made the e-cigs for the world,
as flavored smoke around them curled.
But now in Beijing there's a hint
that they don't like inhaling mint.
And so another treasure trove
from the market place is drove.
Ain't a bizness well worth saving
if it panders to our craving?
Beijing isn't thinking straight;
an e-cig sales tax would be great!
All that money raked in high
(so what if some folks have to die . . . )
Time for lobbyists to drive
falsehoods so e-cigs can thrive.
Economies are spurred, you know,
not by health but by more dough!
