Timericks from today's news headlines.


 




Some of the biggest raises in corporate America went to the executives in charge of U.S. shale companies, even as their shareholders lost billions of dollars.  (WSJ)


When you are a CEO/you are always in the dough/If stockholders take a bath/you are spared their awful wrath/and instead are compensated/with a bonus quite inflated/That's the life for me, yessir/with a Rolls-Royce and chauffeur!



Doctors, nurses and therapists have a prescription for helping all of us to get through these difficult times: Try a little laughter.  (NYT)


Your laugh's a vaccination/You're immune if you can titter/Viruses will recognize/that you are not a quitter/So watch a funny movie/and give out with corny joke/The world's a better place/if you will grin instead of croak.


Trump says he and first lady have tested positive for coronavirus.


A man is sick; his wife is, too/so what's an enemy to do?/Though I deplore his policies/I won't rejoice in his disease/God grant that he recuperates/But Lord, let's have no more debates!
