One hundred thirty-five cases coulda been spared
At UNC-Chapel, but they didn’t care.
All they wanted was checks from the ‘rents
To pay for tuition of a semester spent
In a bubble of bugs. Sick and virus
Awaited the students’ return to campus.
But, today they were sent back to home to view
Their courses and learning at Hill Online School.

8.10.20 – The Windy City is Windy
Wind whipping at the tailcoats
Of the bobbies drawing near,
People join outside the station.
They sport their riot gear.
Another police-juiced murder
Is what caused it—so I hear.
Chicago may be the epicenter
Of the rioting, I fear.
7.16.20 – Shake the Tree
Shake the tree
And see what falls down.
Is it Stepien
Or Brad Pascale?
Regardless
Trump is falling fast
And the next tree shake
May be his last.
6.17.20 – Himalayan Hellscape
High
In the Himalayas
A war tore
Away the lives
Of twenty
Indians
Battered with bats and bamboo
Studded with death.
Modi promises
Revenge
So blood once again
Can be shed.
5.27.20 – Hydrochloroquine On the Decline
Anti-malaria
Was all the rage
When Trump touted its triumph
Without a single page
Of evidence.
Who decides to end its trials?
WHO decides to end its trials.
5.25.20 – Memorial Day in Memoria
Remember this day
Memorial Days
Long lost
To the past.
This last Monday in May
Always seems to say
Celebrate
All those who’ve passed.
5.8.20 – Catfe
Much news to go about:
COVID tests are being shared and
Drug arrests are not spared.
But one story rises to the top
(That is, until it’s knocked off the countertop).
Bangkok’s cat cafes are clawing back!
The purrfect remedy to viral attack
Is feeling felines rub upon
Your pant leg while you sip Americano.
5.5.20 – Insecure
In Flint, Michigan,
Where the water runs thick,
A man doing his job
Was murdered for it.
At Family Dollar,
A family of four
Didn’t wear masks,
Refused entry through door.
Later, the same family
Who wouldn’t be let in,
Returned to kill
Calvin Munerlyn.
A security guard
Doing as he’s told
Isn’t safe in a world
Run by a microbe.
5.1.20 – Haikus: For the Price of One, You Get Two!
Things are getting weird:
Japanese eels need more friends,
Subways are shut down,
And masks on airplanes.
We need art more than ever…
Solved with a haiku!
4.29.20 – Fire Sale! Hot!
Come down to Earth
Where temps are hotter than ever!
Arizona?
HOT.
Wisconsin?
HOT!
Northern tips of Canada?
Oh you betcha!
Meteorologists predict
2020 will be HOTTER THAN EVER!
This won’t last long!
Get it while it’s hot!
