The Legal Compact
with the Confederate Army finished,
I, the slave of a Deacon, was given the
agreed-upon stipend, and, as a bonus,
my own slave.
He will not malinger, nor miss Church.

Keening
Speeding Up To the Mark. Not.
-Report says I'm not keen enough.
-How do you get that, anywayz?
-Some are, in their hobbies.
-But at work?
-It's the atmosphere today. Management
is keen on discovering new ways of
screwing you!
-Even in the unionized states, the membership
finds themselves giving back what they fought
hard for.
-The Democrats don't like it, and stand around
deciding something perhaps to maybe sorta do.
-And the Republicans in unrestrained glee!
-Cuz wez learnin our place?
-Do'n hit me, Massa! I be keen! I be keen!
