Timericks from stories in today's Wall Street Journal.

 



Oil Prices Tumble on Faltering Recovery in Demand

The price of oil is dropping fast;

I wonder how long that will last?

While OPEC currently may be

about to ask for charity,

I think that once the glut is o'er

they'll gouge us all until we're poor.




New Blackouts Darken California.


If you live in Sacramento

power's just a dim memento.

If in Frisco you reside

your house is dark at eventide.

And if you stay in Anaheim

your electric clock won't chime.

The juice is out and at this rate

they'll have to sell the Golden Gate. 



U.S. Military Is Offered New Bases in the Pacific.

So the country of Palau

wants to welcome our own scow

in their bay to cock a snook

at Beijing and its bankbook.

Oy, we need new Navy bases

like a Janus needs new faces!
