An obit for chickens is rare;
It might make some editors stare.
At least the paid views
Cannot be fake news,
Or bot-driven clickbait -- so there!
In another dramatic shake-up at the Los Angeles Times,
Chicago journalist Jim Kirk will be named editor in chief
of the newspaper, replacing Lewis D’Vorkin, who will
move to another position within the parent company.

The move — which is expected to be announced Monday—
follows two weeks of turmoil at The Times,
including a unionization vote by newsroom employees
and accelerating hostilities between D’Vorkin and his staff.

Seems editors and their affairs
Are playing at musical chairs;
With unseemly speed
The old ones are kneed,
So new ones can give themselves airs.
The minimalist look has caught on in certain design circles.
By turning books around, the taupe and white page edges
are shown on a shelf instead of book spines that often don’t match
the rest of the décor. There’s just one catch. Hiding a book’s spine
also obscures useful information, like the title of the book or its author—
and that has some people feeling snubbed. From the Wall Street Journal

I never read books anymore;
They simply are there for decor.
Their soothing pastels
Are nice parallels
To the blandness of mind I adore. Lawyers Faced With Emojis
and Emoticons Are
All ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lawyer in Sandusky, OH,
Did sue a most hapless fellow
For his emojis
That were sent to please
His girlfriend and make her mellow.
and finally:
and finally:
Reporters who hang around Trump
Are subject to his constant grump.
Is it worth a scoop
To take all his poop --
Or wouldn’t they rather gas pump?
