Sometimes they eviscerate,
Sometimes they just vitiate.
And when they opine,
They are never benign.
They call it “The News” but it’s just mostly hate.

In the war of name calling
Rocket Man v Dotard ruling
Fat Boy fell short
Rocket did abort
Trump's is far more compelling.

Word for the day haiku:

Mueller should be fired.
His probe's been vitiated
by Jim Comey's lies.
