Today's timericks.

 



The scourge of nighttime peace and rest/Insomnia comes like a guest/unbidden and unwelcome too/who stays no matter what I do/The only way I find repose/is writing soporific prose.


Christian Krebs could just not learn/never to speak out of turn/He was fired for this vice/by a leader thick as gneiss/It just shows that solid truth/goes down with some like cheap vermouth.


Museums mild and peaceful are/only if they have a bar/where the patrons can imbibe/and avoid all diatribe/Beauty lasts forever, but/right now I prefer rotgut.


Democrats have sadly learned/that they will get badly burned/when they cry "Defund Police"/Voters want to keep the peace/They'll put up with bad cops cuz/it's better than all lack of fuzz.  


Presidents will always gripe/that the press is full of hype/Republican or Democrat/the press ignores their caveat/Is it any wonder they/wish the press would go away?


New York City public schools are closing up again/tighter than an oil drum or a Puritan's 'amen'/When they may reopen is a question for the ages/So I wonder who will pay their idle teacher's wages?


In Congress Republicans snort/their leader is coming up short/With tweet after tweet/he discounts defeat/and thinks that he's going to court.
