Timericks from stories by John Schwartz, Dan Lamothe, and William Booth.

@jswatz

Microplastic is diverse/and the news keeps getting worse/In our water, in our air/maybe in our underwear/Ersatz motes are infiltrating/the very act of populating!


U.S. military faces a reckoning on how to handle its Confederate symbols without provoking Trump.
@DanLamothe

The Pentagon puts up with hooey/to keep Trump from going kablooey/Confederate symbols/are floated on gimbals/while black soldiers holler out 'Phooey!' 


Winston Churchill statue is put in a protective box . . . 
@BoothWilliam

Like a surly Christmas gift/Winnie's given a face lift/In a gray box he resides/confusing all the new tour guides/When agendas run amok/ev'ryone acts like a schmuck.
