NEWS OF THE DAY

 

The president’s numbers are low 
The midterm forecast, pure woe 
The voters are bitter
Mass outrage on Twitter 
The Dems better raise lots of dough 

The Omicron variant is here 
The scariest time of the year 
It spreads like wildfire 
Oldies’ outlooks are dire 
Once again locked away by our fear 

The committee’s investigating the Jan. 6 attack 
We, the public, await their feedback 
Team Trump won’t comply 
Obeying orders from on high 
Even so the committee’s on track 

"Legitimate political discourse” 
That’s the violent insurrection, of course 
The RNC is insane 
Echoing Trump’s false refrain 
When even Mitch McConnell has changed course 

Twitter cancelled Rep. Taylor Greene 
For lying about the vaccine 
Marjorie didn’t blink 
She relishes a stink 
And has endless other ways to be obscene 

Novak Djokovic is under the gun 
He’s put off seeking number twenty-one 
Novak fears the vaccine 
Imagines side effects unseen 
So this year's Grand Slams may be done 

The U. of M. Prez lost his job 
Because of his secret heartthrob 
Emails eking affection 
Hints of carnal predilection 
So Schlissel went out with a sob 

And CNN’S Jeff Zucker resigned 
His love interest put left him in a bind 
Though both were divorced 
Disclosure rules were enforced 
So now Jeff is badly maligned 

The Queen gave the Duchess her blessing
“I’m Queen Consort,” said Camilla, effervescing 
Prince Charles, so glad 
Though Prince Harry is mad 
The monarchy needs this, I’m guessing
