JAN 7, American satire: bitter anniversary

 Reprise of material posted on January 7 in previous years ...

2020: new world palindromes, (wordplay maps) 
2021: anagram swarm, iIMPEACHMENT, again (wordplay maps)
2022: numbers and counting, seven (illustrated poem)
2023: objectionable adjectives, floccular vs. flaky (poem)
2024: Olympic sport, artistic weightlifting (illustrated poem)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... seven), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slides for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 


b) Today's Offering (Jan 7, 2025):

Editors' Note:  Here's a poetic thought that we had about this issue on the morning of January 7, 2024: 

Jan. the sixth, 'twenty-five, came and went,

A perfunctory D.C. event.

Quickly vote counts were tallied

(No rioters rallied)

Pent-up anger it seems had been spent.

Yet our hearts cry out, "Sinners, repent!"
