Timericks from stories by John McCormick, Catherine Lucey, Jacob Bunge, Jesse Newman, and Griff Witte.

Trump Casts Wide TV-Ad Net to Shore Up Support.
@McCormickJohn   @catherine_lucey

If all the money spent on ads/by Trump and all the other cads/were spent instead on better things/we all might live like splendid kings/and queens in comfort for a while/instead of subject to their guile.


Jacob Bunge.  WSJ.

Tyson Turns to Robot Butchers, Spurred by Coronavirus Outbreaks.
@jessenewman13  @jacobbunge

Robot butchers on the loose/they are gonna cook our goose/Algorithmic chopping widget/they will never lose a digit/But beware when they escape/We'll all begin to dress in crepe!





Time to shut down again? As coronavirus cases surge, a growing chorus makes the case.
@griffwitte


Many experts now agree/we opened early, ruinously/Corona cases now have soared/because the danger we ignored/I guess as hermits we must strive/to keep ourselves somewhat alive!
