The news of the day, the sports and the crimes, We’ll sum it all up with a few simple rhymes.
Yes, we used to rhyme the news everyday until . . . we got tired of it; actually people stopped reading it, which is when we really got tired of it. But we’ve kept the name of the blog, Morning News In Verse because we didn’t want to lose those faithful subscribers that we had, so we just subtitled it, ‘from a Bird’s Eye View’. Now we don’t rhyme the news anymore, in fact we hardly ever read the news anymore, but rather write about road trips and ‘life observations’ that pique our interest and hopefully yours. And people are reading it again.
Our goal is still to simply entertain and get your morning off to a interesting and perhaps thought-provoking start. We’d love to have you become a subscriber so our offerings come directly to your email – it’s free and we write a new blog every week and post it on Monday morning.

from a bird's eye view 
What a delight!!
Some of these put “things” in perfect perspective;
and some just leave me feeling “reflective.”
Arno – thanks so much for your nice comment! Our goal is to give everyone something to think about or chuckle about every morning so I’m glad we’ve done that for you.

What a cute idea! Your rhymes are really clever, love the pop culture ones! I know a site that does news haikus, but love the rhymes!
You two make the gloomy days of winter a bit more bright each morning
keep up the rhymes of the times
P.S. Happy Birthday Moe man
Thank you – nice to know we brighten your day – hope you guys have a great Christmas; and make it a New Year’s resolution to get down this way next year!
I’m subscribing today to be able to keep LIFE a little lighter and keep the connection to the FAMOUS Sparrow writing, and clever observations; For know, begin the flow, I will expect that Morning News in Verse, will set a high standard for a more positive journalism than we’re accustomed to having thrown at us by “if it bleeds, it leads” mentality.

I love this! Good luck with the “skiing thing”. I lived in Lake Tahoe for 5 years and managed to avoid it. I just hate being cold. I stayed back at the cabin or condo and made fabulous food and cocktails for everyone’s triumpant return at the end of the day. Do what you excell at and enjoy!
Thanks, Marie! I think you had the right idea. Stay tuned!
great to see/read you on this. Fun!
