News From the Wizard of Oz

It's raining mud in Kansas,
200 miles an hour wind-hammers
broke Kentucky's heart.
Good people rush to help,
poets watch,
dogs bark
reporters report.

In the days of the Delta variants
children are left out in the cold
to eat lunch -
it's for their own good.

Meanwhile an iron gauntlet
grips the neck of the Republic
for its own good,
but it's all bad

and there is still no vaccine
for stupid.
