The end of Q1 is here

Maybe in Q2 less fear

If you’d like some info

A current events intro

This post should (kinda) suffice

Be warned-not all is nice.

Today, a million plus flew the skies

10x last year, half of ‘19…no lies!

The president’s approval holds

Yet sometimes, he’s not so bold.

Massive 2 trillion infrastructure plan

It’s not all up to snuff, c’mon man!

Who gets to deal with the border?

Kamala of course-Joe’s no hoarder.

Pfizer vaccine protects the youth

Will this make them less uncouth?

16% of Americans vaccinated

From the virus soon we’ll be emancipated.

Song and shoes got Christians in a trance-

Then, Lil Nas X gives Satan a lap dance.

Trumper Matt Gaetz under the microscope

Tucker Carlson did not give him much hope

A literary giant lived over a century

Ramona, Beezus, Henry-everlasting treasury.

Men’s basketball Final Four ready to go

No Big 10 teams….disappointing, though.

The NFL season gets one more game

Watching benchwarmers…how lame.

Finally, the Ever Given onward, afloat!

The Suez Canal is anything but a moat.

There it is, I’m done!

Did you have some fun?

At least you learned a fact or two

It’s all 100% true.

All the news fit to rhyme

Hope to see ya the next time.
