What was in the news?

My quick 10 minute poem!

What was in the news today?The inauguration of Joe Biden was the biggest headlines of all.With Kamala Harris as vice president was introduced as,The first black African-American and Asian-American woman!The motorcade was long for about a mile.With soldiers standing in every corner of the capital city.If I had woken up from a coma, I would have thought,There was a war going on between earth and an alien planet.Here in Britain Boris has no time for celebration.The virus has hit around 1,830 in the last twenty-four hours they say.With the storm Christoph creating havoc up in the north.And here I am having a delicious creamy strawberry yoghurt at 2 am.Reading a Kate Morton novel set in the Edwardian time in Britain.Listening vaguely to the news and I see Tom Hanks on the steps of the White House.Another twenty-four hours have passed.What will be in the news tomorrow I wonder.I can make a very good guess.
