looking at the News today

Lacrimae Rerum

as good old Vergil used to say

personally not prone

to lachrimosity

tears that tear

nothing new under the sun

or in the Sun

same old story

more of the same

 tame blame game

when will we ever learn

burning questions

answer's blowing

in Dylan's idiot wind

not talking about

the weather forecast here

wish I could cheer you up

let's be clear

there's  no way of knowing

dearly love to  know when

 things might improve here

not so elementary my dear
