Headlines & Verse. Saturday. July 1. 2017.

NEW JERSEY BUDGET BATTLE CLOSES STATE PARKS AND BEACHES FOR THE HOLIDAY.


Don’t travel to New Jersey for your weekend holiday.
The state is without budget, so you’ll find no place to play.
The parks are closed just like a clam; the beaches, too, are shuttered.
The Governor won’t pay their bills, no matter how he’s buttered.
Of course all the casinos will be open for your trade --

So you can lose your shirt and have your mortgages parlayed.




A bizness that’s run in LA
Hasn’t much chance now to stay.
Those mom and pop shops
Are hit in the chops --
While highrises chase them away.





Reporters in France have no clue
What Monsieur Macron will do --
His thoughts are so deep
That he has to keep
Them locked up like snakes in a zoo.


IOWA STARTS SHIPPING THEIR FAMOUS SWEET CORN TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY STARTING THIS MONDAY 


It ain’t a decent picnic on our Independence Day
Without a cob of corn or two from down in Ioway.
With butter melted over it and salted down as well,
It’s nothing but ambrosia to palate and to smell.
I can eat a dozen without blinking, yes sirree,
While shooting off a cherry bomb in thanks for Liberty.
You folks down there in Ioway, please keep up the good work --

Without your ears of sweet corn I do think I’d go beserk!



CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING TELLS HONG KONG RESIDENTS -- 'YOU BELONG TO BEIJING NOW; SO SAY GOOD-BYE TO FREE SPEECH!'

Obtaining Hong Kong with some cant,
The Chinese are now on a rant.
They’ve told all the world
That tongues should be furled --

It’s jail for so much as a chant.
