Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

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

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!

Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2019 at 9:45 PM 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. Gershon Wolf June 4, 2019 at 9:56 PM You certainly didn't muff your comment. Ha, ha... (soup mail, please). :) gw

Rico Leffanta June 3, 2019 at 5:50 PM 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 Gershon Wolf June 3, 2019 at 5:57 PM 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

P.S. Awtry June 3, 2019 at 9:34 AM A life lesson wrapped in a rhyme and managed to draw a censor!!! What’s not to love! Gershon Wolf June 3, 2019 at 12:15 PM 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

Phillip Garcia June 3, 2019 at 12:23 AM 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. Gershon Wolf June 3, 2019 at 8:16 AM Ha, ha. The word I wrote was 'muff.' Should that have been censored?! Hmmmm.. Anyway, whatever. :) gw

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 2, 2019 at 10:14 PM Lol! This is so good! ;D xomo! Gershon Wolf June 2, 2019 at 10:31 PM Thought you might enjoy this one. Then again, enough poetry: Show me the cash!! :) gw
