From the New York Times.. Sunday March 11 2018

(These are paragraphs from the NYTimes -- the verse is mine)

Where others see flashing yellow lights
and slow down, Mr. Trump speeds up.
And just like that, in the course of 45
minutes in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump
threw aside caution and dispensed with
decades of convention to embark on a
daring, high-wire diplomatic gambit aimed
at resolving one of the world’s most
intractable standoffs.


There’s something about this here Trump --
Could he be a champ, not a chump?
Korea might find
He’s got a good mind --
Or else he might hit a speed bump.

A week after a retired Russian double agent
and his daughter were poisoned by a
nerve agent in the small city of Salisbury,
British authorities on Sunday asked anyone
who was near Mr. Skripal that day
to wash their clothes.


It’s dangerous to be a spy
Unless your clothes are drip-n-dry.
The poison that will come your way
Means you will have a toxic day;
Contaminates your shoes and socks,
Your eyeglasses and ticking clocks.
So if to allergies you’re prone,
Then get a job at Firestone.


The political establishment, as embodied
by the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party,
or PRI, which held power uninterrupted
from 1929 to 2000, is perceived by many
Mexicans as inclined to corruption and graft.


A young man who came from La Paz
Decided to alter the laws;
He made his attacks
Against corrupt hacks --
They found him stuffed inside a vase.
