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.”

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 green, green lush
The blooming blush The big, big lush
The em•bar•rassed blush &
And the cos•me•tic blush The shouldn’t tush, tush
