Russians Set to Approve Radical Overhaul That Could Keep Putin in Power Until 2036.
@AMSimmons1

autocrats are very slow/at letting all their power go/retirement is not their thing/cuz they prefer to stay a king/voted in or seizing reins/they give their people naught but pains/When people wake to their designs/they find themselves on the sidelines.


Social Distancing Gives Motorbike Makers a Smoother Ride.
@StephenWilmot

I cannot bring myself to like/a ride upon a motorbike/They may be cool and cost effective/but my poor balance is defective/Although I'll have to take some flack/I'll wait around for the jet pack. 


Trump’s Twitter feed reads like a local crime blotter as he stokes a culture war.
@jdawsey1

I think it's time that we convened/the Congress to get something cleaned/The Constitution needs amending/so all Trump's tweets can have an ending/No President from this time on/can have a Twitter account anon/And if some future leader breached/this law they ought to be impeached.
