Walking the Talk


Rich texted Larbie.

sbucks & dealing!

ten!  came the instant answer.

When Larbie hustled in, a double
vanilla latte awaited.

“Softening me up?”

They got quickly into it. Tedious
at first, but a breakthrough when
Larbie finally agreed on additional cash
to be determined by the accountants.

They shook hands then.

So, Rich’s Mona-Ruth traded to him for his
Cameron and Melody.

Contingent on the women accepting,
of course.

This is 2017!

The Sound of One Hand Washing the Other


The Senator and His Friend


S     Well, it stinks!

F     Money does. So, anyway, you don't wanna be
       associated with...?

S     I don't want my NAME associated with.
       Not the same thing.

F     We'll call you David Blaine.

S     Good! Like the magician.

F     What will you make disappear?

S     All decency.

F     Hyperbole! Didn't your consultants tell
       you to tone down the act?

S     That's right.

F     Or not Right enough?

S     It any moreso, my White Charger woulda broken
       down!

F     We can't have that! So few represent virtue
       nowadays.

Adjusting the Scenario

Seems truly bent
when you refuse
the deal. Over-

complex, you say.
Shady, you mean.

Sad, for such
compacts require
a nice hand thus

for Feds
to nail.
