Dear Readers (of every major news publication in the USA):
Our apologies for the following error, which we’ve made almost daily for
18 years, since 2006:
. for misidentifying Hamas*-controlled Gaza (as ‘Israeli-occupied Gaza’).
We sincerely regret the thousands of deaths caused by our inadvertent
error, as well as any inconvenience to you, dear readers.
~ Editors-in-Chief ...
*Hamas is officially recognized as a terror organization by the US
government It is responsible for murdering thousands of Jews in
Israel and around the world over the past 30+ years -- as well as
tens of thousands of deaths of Arabs living under its (Hamas')
civilian authority (i.e., in Gaza).

NORTH POLE
By:Jim Acosta
CNN
Mrs Claus said something so obscene is Santa's ear!
He turned beet red and said, "Look up, lovely wife
at the winter skies, wifey, my dear!"
Up, she did look, and he gave her a vaccine as a surprise.
Being an avid, known vaccine hater,
She despised how he had baited her!
The elves came out,to get the lovely couple calmed down.
After all, Christmas could not start with neither an argument
nor a frown!
The concerned elves made some strong eggnog, extra loaded
with the strongesst rum..
The Clauses soon mellowed out!
For a hug, a dance and then some~~~
Santa got off, on time,without a hitch!
All children got their wishes and toys!
So very blessed, and our world was so joyfully enriched!

MERRY. CHRISTMAS
***PANAGIOTA AND FAMILY***
You’re in a great mood
Whistling dancing twirling.
Loving your life
Suddenly the TV gets louder
Two hundred fires
A plane crash that killed a hundred
Thirty-one car pile up
You stop whistling
Your dancing feet tangle up
You fall, now in a completely different place
Wait! Your angel says.
That is them. Not us!
You begin arguing with her
Suddenly you need a nap.
You are feeling sluggish
You cancel your dinner plans
Is it guilt?
Is it empathy?
Is it fear?
It certainly is not positivity
It is not optimism
It is not realizing this might be your last day to whistle and dance
The bending light from the headline
News
As it enters my optic
Nerve
Resonates from eager
Fingertips
Coursing to my
Cortex
As the crisp crunch of
Paper
Crackles in self
Satisfaction
The pungent wisp of fresh
Paper
And strong
Ink
Refract
A
Poem
...I can touch
