RECESSION PERSISTS
State of the art premises
Cutting edge machinery
Microchip technology
Computer Aided Design
A world class management team
And a highly skilled workforce
A winning combination
A recipe for success
One ingredient missing
… The Mother of Invention
Sorry to say this, but, Mother is extremely busy getting all those chicks cleaned, properly dressed, and ready to go back to school. She might have time when all of that is done, but just remember then she has to pick them all up from class, drop them off at separate scheduled extra curricular activities, rush home and fix a dazzling dinner, and then there's the dishes, and the laundry, but she's promised to consider the issue later before she drifts off to a well-deserved sleep.

Don't know which I enjoyed more: your poem or the fun comments.
ReplyDeleteI agree - that ending is perfect. What we need is necessity and not cleverness.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you this morning, and wondering why I hadn't seen you around for ages. Is everything OK?
