Verses from news stories by Catie Edmondson, Annie Karni, Lori Rozsa, and Simon Denyer.



Fearing Political Peril, Republicans Edge Away From Trump on Pandemic Response
@CatieEdmondson

Republicans think Trump's a jinx;
the rank and file now from him shrinks.
Even with his strange hypnosis
he is shunned like halitosis.
Rats flee from the sinking ship
and give the Captain his pink slip.


‘I Will Never Lie to You,’ McEnany Says in First White House Briefing as Trump's New Press Secretary.
@anniekarni

A sprightly young maiden was Kayleigh
who flirted with journalists daily.
Though truth she desired
she knew she'd be fired
unless she went  Barnum & Bailey.


Florida clerk has weddings in a parking lot
 drive-through
@lori_rozsa

Drive-thru weddings are the best;
 there's no cake or wedding guest.
Say "I do" and raise a glass,
then hit the road till out of gas.
Marriage in a parking lot
leads to many an afterthought . . . 


Video of North Korea’s Kim opening fertilizer
 factory quashes rumors
@simondenyer

Our dear leader will not cease
working for respect and peace.
And he is forever young,
spreading goodwill and much dung.
He will fertilize mankind
with an open and high mind.
Rumors of his death are fibs
fit for babies in their cribs!
