Sign of the Times
Well, the gray lady’s losing her ‘shine’.
It seems Wordle had crossed party lines.
The puzzle to greet us
contained the word ‘fetus’,
They aborted the word; it’s all fine.
----------
The New York Times removed the word 'fetus' from their Wordle database so they could remain 'distinct from the news'.
