Timericks from stories in today's Wall Street Journal.



Universities Cut Oil Investments as Student Activism Builds

Fossil fuels have found that they/are deplored like tooth decay/by college boards who won't invest/in such dirty interest/No! they cry; the remedy/is oil that comes from THC/That will keep us going strong/please to pass around the bong.

Hospitals Stock Up on Covid-19 Drugs to Prepare for Second Wave in Fall

Doctors and their nurses know/that epidemics come and go/but pandemics have got a way/of coming for a long long stay/And so the clinics now prepare/for autumn surges ev'rywhere/To avoid September's funk/I think I'll just stay in my bunk . . . 

Billboard Charts to Stop Tallying Music Sold With T-Shirts, Tickets

  Artists that are selling schlock/integrity do really mock/Mozart sold no t-shirts, friend/and Brahms stayed broke to bitter end/Play your music, country star/and don't sell me a candy bar.
