Story 53
Faced with Fattening Paste
In haste
The chef mixed a doughy paste,
Which on a roast he’d baste.
But all was a waste,
For its rich taste
Was too much for every dieter's not-so-slim waist.
Story 54
A Spate of Prate
Can•di•date Kate stood on a crate and began
her spate praising her running mate.
"We fully back the Dem•o•crat•ic slate. And let me
state that we truly love your e•lec•tor•al state.
Taxes we shall abate, and at a fast rate. In fact,
we shall in•i•ti•ate a tax rebate.
However, we promise never to cut the welfare state. Then every man, woman, and
child shall elate. Let this be your fate ! Move us through the White House
gate !
"Now - if I weren’t running late for another date, a dinner of $100 a plate, most
gladly I'd stay and debate.”
