Stuck Being Shemp

      At one time tobacco was king
        Today it’s cannabis and hemp
      Seems they are Moe, Curly and Larry
        While tobacco is stuck being Shemp  

      And so too is it true of taxis
         Whom riders once hailed frequently
      Uber and Lyft now rule the ride-hailing roost 
         taxis deleted ~ like the Confederacy

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/3/2025 4:46:00 PM was just thinking about the Three Stooges a couple of days ago. A witty poem about the inevitable obsolescence. (did I really just use that word?) :-)

Rowena Velasco Date: 8/3/2025 7:22:00 AM Love the Three Stooges reference! Clever and sharp commentary on how quickly things fall out of favor. Poor Shemp... and poor taxis!
