Hot Off the Press

Hot Off the Press

It’s there on the front page

from an absent-minded sage

who Op-Eded the clash

of those hauling in cash 

and those driving for “Door Dash.” 

In the op-ed, as I said

an article on the gap 

between the rich and the poor.

How the poor are either dying or dead

while the rich are lying in bed 

and living in the lap 

of wealth and amour.

Send in the clowns.

Where are the clowns?

Don’t worry they’re here.

In Florida. There’s a new circus in town

and it ain’t exactly the greatest show on Earth.

 He’s burning books and starting donnybrooks

 trying to be an authoritarian

but I’m betting on the librarians

so….Shhhh!

 Also, he’s trying to take Disney down.

Mickey Mouse challenged to a joust.

Guess who’ll be first to leave town.

He’s busing his immigrants to sanctuary cities

that operate at a loss.

He should be sending them money

to cover the cost.

But, there’s a report

they said, “See you in court.”

In the Centerfold, looking very old 

photos of a man seeking to lead 

who must know twofold

that sometimes you bleed.

Though once you are chosen 

your destiny’s frozen.

Either do the best you can

or surrender to the 2025 plan

and fulfill your dream of being Hitler

while all the while you just look littler.

In the Sports it’s all about Football

which isn’t like football at all.

It’s more like Rugby only dumber.

They hardly ever kick the ball

and when they do the field’s too small.

The ball goes out of bounds 

so they take a commercial break.

Upon returning they take

to talking about who is better

Caleb, Justin, or Drake?

I can’t take it any more. 

All I want them to do

is take us away for an hour

from the threat of Nuclear War

not to hem and haw

about the game we just saw. 

The Health section's indisposed, I suspect

Way too many drugs with side effects

including death.

They call it Big Pharma for a reason

not because their tending big fields

it’s because they’re fielding the big ($) tender.

Yes, Big is the reason

as in, the only thing they're farming

is billions of dollars.... Charming!

Back page has photos of aging tyrants

facing their own doom, 

they are all aspirants

trying to claim the world as their own

living on Human Growth Hormone

looking as though their half alive

and are part of the has-been archive.

We need to monitor these creeps

to insure they don’t fall asleep

or do something totally dumb

and blow us all to kingdom come.

In the Science section it's all about AI

and the disappearance of processes

that once required thought.

How they will be transmogrified 

into robotic responses and job losses.

We forgot,

 “What hath God wrought?”

It’s now “What’s in your Wallet?”

IOU everything I’ve got.

Welcome to the world of AI Wars.
