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.”
