F Is For Fired

Bob, Luis and Gordon, Names that might just ring a bell, Lived, at least to little children, On a street* they knew quite well. The actors who portrayed them Started when the show was new, Educational TV back then Just making its debut. They performed with mostly Muppets And then guest stars who’d abound, Though their constant presence promised That they’d always be around. So how shocking to discover That all three have been let go, All their years of such devotion Ending in this final blow. Lucky Big Bird, Bert and Ernie And their Muppet friends are stuffed Or they’d end up like the humans Being rudely, crudely snuffed! *Sesame Street

I guess, sadly, "That's showbiz". I do not believe there is any loyalty in the workplace. Corporations always seem to weed out the ones about to draw a pension for the young ones who draw minimum wage. great tribute, Ilene.
