At coronavirus crossroads, U.S. weighs ‘one more chance’ to quell escalating outbreak.
@isaacstanbecker


Americans won't take the veil/even at the threat of jail/They wash their hands infrequently/and never wipe their noses, see?/They spit and cough and spritz away/without a thought of Judgement Day/But I'll be safe, because, by golly/I'm moving off to germ-free Mali!



A Summer Without Superheroes.
@aoscott

Batman's gone, Green Lantern's out/
What IS this summer all about/
Without ol' Spidey looping loops
or stern Avengers -- only moops!/
Since Hollywood can't stay the course/
I'll stay at home and read old Norse.

Why not name 'em 'Former Glory'/or perhaps 'The Dino-saury/'Rip Van Winkles' just might do/Then, of course, there's 'Scooby-Doo'/Not a hint of the Red Man/So why not try out 'Also Ran?'
