Where There's That Much Smoke

I said, "They're opportunists" when just a few accused, but soon a throng of sixty-plus cried out, "We've been abused!" His reputation's gone to pot. Cliff Huxtable--he's not. 29 words written for the Fallen in 25-30 Words Poetry Contest Bill Cosby played Dr. Cliff Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" (1984-92). Janice Canerdy December 1, 2015
