Verses from Stories in Today's New York Times -- As Republicans Face Impeachment Dilemma, Romney Is a Lonely Voice of Concern -- Where Do We Stand on the Exclamation Point? -- Meet the Millionaires Helping to Pay for Climate Protests.

A dog owner who owns a mutt

that bites him a lot in the butt

in loyalty will

refuse it to kill;

which leaves Romney in a bad rut.

Please do not ever dictate

ways that I must punctuate!

You cannot anoint

my exclamation point

as something that is second rate!

It must be nice to have the dough

to put on any kind of show

or protest that your whimsy feels,

'gainst plastic straws or automobiles.

If I were rich I would protest

how we are spelling 'Bucharest.'

They ought to use a 'k' to spell

that Slavic city known so well.

I'd bribe the media by the ton

until my case I'd smugly won.

And then fly off to warm Saint Kitts

for eye candy and white wine spritz.
