Timericks from stories by Patrick Kingsley, Jason Horowitz, and Dan Zak.





A Mile-Long Line for Free Food in Geneva, One of World’s Richest Cities
NYT

@PatrickKingsley
Geneva has bread lines so long/they stretch all the way to Hong Kong/Now even Swiss cheese/is gone with the breeze/and cuckoo clocks sing a sad song.


The circus came to town, then it couldn't leave
NYT

@jasondhorowitz
There once was a circus so beached/the bones of the funny clowns bleached/inside center ring/The monkeys took wing/The ringmaster saw God and preached.


The pandemic isn’t over. But America sure seems over it.
WaPo


@MrDanZak
I'm over the pandemic now/No longer will I have a cow/if I can't make rent/or need a new stent/From six feet below it's all Tao.
