Verse from Stories in Today's New York Times -- Democrats Win Control in Virginia and Claim Narrow Victory in Kentucky Governor’s Race -- ‘Extremely Evil Misconduct’: Thailand’s Palace Intrigue Spills Into View -- Why $4.5 Billion From Big Tech Won’t End California Housing Crisis.

Democrats in old Kain-tuck

really got a piece of luck.

In Virginny they steamrolled

all that pachydermic fold.

This here country, I do think,

hopes to see Trump in the clink.

Aides to Thailand's newest king,

on a catapult do swing.

If they give him any grief,

he knows how to get relief --

sends them shooting off to space

(just to save a little face.)

And outside of old Siam

other despots play that scam.

I can think of one right here;

a Goldilocks that most folk fear.

But I very much exult

in his end by catapult!

Out in Cali - forn - eye - ay
 fat cats need their slaves to stay.
Building hovels for their serfs,
like the kind wherein live Smurfs,
eases consciences all right
and looks good in the spotlight.
But who needs more shoddy cages --
why not pay some living wages?
