Headlines
Wildfires rage in Texas,
Like they need the added heat;
And thirty shootings in New York
Made Labor Day complete.
Famine grips Somalia,
And the U.S.A.’s caught spying.
In Egypt, at Mubarak’s trial,
Witnesses are lying.
Eighteen in Yosemite
Have died while on vacation.
Victims of the hurricane
Are wracked with indignation.
A rainy day – I stayed indoors
And caught up with the news.
As if the rain were not enough,
The Times gave me the blues.
