From the New York Times. Monday March 19 2018




Mr. Trump has long suggested that
allegations that he or his campaign
conspired with Russia to influence
the election were a “hoax” and part of a
“witch hunt,”

Russia is a lovely land, a place of peace and rest.
The people there are gentle and think only of the best.
Their government is kindly and they never would support
Fixing of elections or Dame Liberty to thwart.

Those charitable people shed a tear of bitter grief
When they’re blamed for stealing votes like some dishonest thief.
They venerate democracy and love those who dissent;
Rather than free speech assail, they’d go live in a tent!

Oh why do people claim that Russians meddle in our life,
Posting rabble-rousing lies that lead to deadly strife?
I know they’d never think of leading Uncle Sam astray
(and for this verse I will receive big bucks from them today . . . )



Other former officials who have been
the subject of the president’s taunts
have also had choice words for him
on Twitter.

Instead of writing memoirs, bigwigs like to write hot tweets,
Insisting that the future will sure celebrate their feats.
Sore losers always like to whine they didn’t get a chance
To fully justify their patriotic noble stance.

It seems the world is blaming Trump because he is so blunt;
The guy is not a handshaker, preferring to confront.
The gnats that tweet around his head are not a nuisance, just
Motes of picayune intent less crucial than the dust.

This firestorm of verbiage a witch hunt seems to be,
And taunting our beloved Prez is like a new hobby.
This mass of bitter twitters cyberspace may soon obstruct,
And only Trump can clear the jam and have it all eruct!   



Facebook on Sunday faced a backlash
about how it protects user data, as
American and British lawmakers
demanded that it explain how a political
data firm with links to President Trump’s
2016 campaign was able to harvest private
information from more than 50 million
Facebook profiles without the social network’s
alerting users.

My data has no privacy.
I’m naked for hackers to see.
They know my address
And when I fluoresce --
I am a Facebook internee!
