Timericks from stories by Anna Fifield, Mathew Cappucci, and Natasha Singer.

@annafifield

If at first you don't succeed/polyandry you may need/China's baby boom is bust/Sev'ral husbands is a must/I will happily go stud/(and now my name is surely Mud.)



Salt Lake City went from record heat to record cold in three days.
@MatthewCappucci

The jet stream -- mischievous breeze -- /has caused mountain passes to freeze/The record says June/but Utah is strewn/with sniffles and chilblains and sneeze.



Companies like Salesforce created workplaces with all the comforts of home. But now they may feel more like hospitals.
@natashanyt

Going to work nowadays/is more like a hospital maze/Your temperature took/no hands to be shook/and covered in chemical sprays.
