The word censored in the last line is 'muff.' Shouldn't be censored, should it? -- unless Poetry Soup's censor is into unintended double entendres. Go figure...

Little Warren Buffett sat on a tuffet Counting his stocks and his bonds Along came a crash and there went his stash But it wasn't as bad as it sounds... While others pulled out Little Warren held stout He took the stock-picker's dare Purchasing bargains with care Touting a 'buy-low' culture He swooped in like a vulture A mere year from that crash He'd made back all his cash There's a lesson in here Whose principle's clear -- When you sit on a tuffet Make sure you don't **** it!

We cannot use muff? What if we are using muff when we are talking bout fluffy, furry hand warmers in the 1960's? Muff. Muff. Muff. Muff. Muff. I cannot wait to see how much of this is censored for no reason.

Well done! I looked up your censored word in Webster's but could see no justification for censorship unless Buffet did not want anyone to know he ate muffin for breakfast, or Poetry Soup farms out censorship to India Indians who know something we don't know! Aloha! Rico

I'm with you, Rico. No reason at all for the censorship, unless it's something way, way out there... Thanks for the feedback! :) gw

A life lesson wrapped in a rhyme and managed to draw a censor!!! What’s not to love!

Thanks for the comment, P.S., and for noting the censorship. Still can't understand it. 'Muff it' is a common term for missing a chance or blowing an opportunity. Or at least I thought it was. :) gw

LMAO. Yes yes yes! This is great, Gershon, I started hoping midway through you would end it with a ****ing and you did not disappoint.

Ha, ha. The word I wrote was 'muff.' Should that have been censored?! Hmmmm.. Anyway, whatever. :) gw
