        Story 241


        Haus





















               After Haus welded the railing, and scraped away the dross, he shined it


               to   a  sparkling    gloss.  Yet      his  boss    was   cross.     He    yelled,   “Shoddy

               workmanship will have me take a loss!”              Then he came at Haus.





               But Haus flew off like an al•ba•tross, swinging to safety on a live oak’s

               flossy Spanish Moss.

                                            On a street that she crossed


                                            Jennel slipped on some frost

                                            Then again on a step mossed

                                            Her dignity was lost


                                            What’s worse, now she bears a head embossed
