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!

A Bracelet Shaken in a Dance
-As my career winds down,
I more and more have to
convince younger colleagues
of my worth.
-That gang now is fractious
and edgy. Not a laugh in
a carload.
-Fair appraisal.
-How long do you have?
-The CEO, half my age, doing
my final evaluation.
-Did you pack your shit in the
famous cardboard box yet?
-My last trick is to distract him.
A sort of gypsy dance with lots
of silver bracelets.
-The flash sets him to musing on
pleasant topics, and he says...?
-Let's keep the gypsy for another
year or so. Plug it into some new
group or other.
-Where no one wants you?
-Probably.
-Or, OR! he says...?
-You know? I'm sick of gypsies and
their dances. Let's terminate now.
Cleaner!
