Story 326

Gus Is Calamitous

As a waiter Gus wasn't a plus. He would cause a fuss and make the
customers almost cuss.

Well one day Mr. Russ, his boss, pulled him aside and said, "Gus, I'm

ser•i•ous, you're simply ca•lam•i•tous. You can’t wait, and you can’t bus.

Thus, you'd better head out on the next bus. We have nothing further to

discuss.”

Story 327

Gushing

There is:

The carpet plush The poker flush

The swanky plush The toilet flush

The food mush The river flush

The yell mush And the door flush

And the lovers mush

The snowy slush The robin thrush
The garbage slush The quiet hush
The mad rush & The water gush
The fra•ter•ni•ty rush The hair brush
The flattening crush &
The lovers’ crush &
The green brush
The blooming blush The green, green lush
The em•bar•rassed blush The big, big lush
And the cos•me•tic blush
&
The shouldn’t tush, tush
