Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Better Sleep On It

Poor Mister Tuffet
Gasps while stocks plummet,
Collecting his shell-shocked wits!

His hair stands on end
As the market descends
It is scaring Mr. Tuffet to bits!

He tucks into his mattress
His wealth and his assets
Now he sleeps with his ass on his funds!

(He is trying to "tuffet" out!!)

Andrea Dietrich August 12, 2011 at 10:31 PM CUTE final line, Carrie. Cute topic. So we can just do any funny poem? I am so confused by this contest. Were you doing your Mr. Tuffet based on the picture of a guy with blue hair?

Nancy Jones August 12, 2011 at 9:36 PM Actually, I reckon Donald Trump is having more sleepless nights.... Warren Buffet has told his kids they're on their own, having been raised in a life of extraordinary privilege, and is leaving his fortune to causes he feels are wholesome and nurturing. Google some articles.. learn about the man.
