Stuck on the Tarmac

A winter weather system took a dump,

Began its trek east with a blast of arctic air.

The crusty ends, right behind, came hard.

Cuban political prisoners thawed cigars,

Conceived an evolved star, a stunning nebula.

They reshaped the nation’s obesity

By starting a flu epidemic.

 

Three officers flew to Utah after attending the funeral of

A black kitten, 3 months old, who enjoyed chemical weapons.

A watchdog talked about the Cold War,

Ideological invention, dirty clothes, and a hot idea

Former chief justice Robert issued a formal opinion

Fifty years after the victim was beheaded.

 

A fierce debate raged within the military because

Soldiers illegally remembered the holocaust.

Do you believe passengers, stuck on the tarmac

For 12 hours, should swim in the Mediterranean Sea?

Western Asia was sentenced to two years for corruption.

The first of Virginia’s 72 governors wore a rug on his head.
