Story 177
The Fritches
Mr. Fritch said to his son, "Apparently, Mitch, you don't care a stitch,
about finding your niche, and becoming even moderately rich. Your
behavior is giving me an anxious twitch.
"To get you a job, many times I have given a boss a sales pitch. But as
fast as you're hi r ed, you're fi r ed. You get the itch. 'The job has a
hitch,' you say. Then to another job you switch.’
"Speaking of switch, when you were younger Mitch, you should have
gotten my switch. Then today maybe you wouldn't be in such a ditch.
"You ought to go back to school, Mitch, and begin learning to spell
tricky words like the pronoun which, a sandwich, and the Wicked Old
Witch."
Story 178
A Myth
Across the Atlantic's width,
Along a Norwegian frith,
Among his kin and kith,
There lives a man, Goldsmith,
Who shoes unicorns as a blacksmith.
Nowadays I buy all my horseshoes
from Thom McAn. He's one heck
of a man!
