Timericks from stories in today's New York Times.

 




Manhattan’s Office Buildings Are Empty. But for How Long?


See the ghostly working place

disappear without a trace.

Corporations have decided

office space must be derided.

Rental agents in Manhattan

watch their income quickly flatten.

Landlords who need sympathy

won't be getting it from me.



N.Y. Will Move Homeless Men From Liberal Neighborhood After Backlash.

As a concept, homeless folk

are not taken as a joke.

But if they move in way too close

they are shunned as way too gross.

I can love them distantly;

just don't let them close to me.


Trump, Calling Himself ‘the No. 1 Environmental President,’ Green Washes His Record.

'Greenwash' is a term that's new

to me, and it sounds coo-coo.

Yet when Trump's the story fodder,

there is no such thing as 'odder.'

Trump's about as green as coal,

or a pulsating black hole.
