  A. Alta

  A new insect species comprises
  All females, pronounced in their sizes.
  Long field study fails
  To discover the males—
  As they're lunch after sex, one surmises!

  Delta

  Delta Airlines, whose coffers obtain
  Extra money from seats where the plane
  Lacks a window, deny
  That old wisdom can fly—
  As they're making a gain with no pane!

  The Guinness World Records book got 'em:
  All eight of the towers at Cottam,
  And all in precisely
  One moment, sank nicely
  Straight down from the top to the bottom!

  Mango

  Mango, versed in the cost of a deal,
  Aided cops with a big drugs reveal ...
  Never teach your macaw
  Going prices—the law
  Only waits for the parrot to squeal!

  Social-media keyboard routines
  Merit thumbs that are longer—which means
  Augmentation of brains,
  Recent science maintains ...
  Texting's smart, and breeds thinking machines?

   Zack P

   Zack Polanski's mind ups your cup size,
   A reporter got briefed, in disguise.
   Can you trust claims by him
  (Kinda grim)? Is he sim-
   Ply now busted—a booby-trap's prize?

  Swona

  Swona's cows, it appears, want to wear
  Women's trainers and ordered a pair
  Of size fives: fact allows
  No alternative—cows
  Are the only inhabitants there!

  Fired

  First Prince Andrew falls, then Peter M:
  Icky Epstein brings down all of them—
  Royals, peers and so on—
  Even after he's gone ...
  Donald's next to be fired (mused a Dem)?
