WHO’S TOOL WAS BIGGER THAN CORN

 NO TWITTER NOR BLOG

THEY CALLED HIM HEDGEHOG

HE HUFFED PUFFED AND BLEW HIS OWN HORN...

each gesture flickers

blazing gold and russet tones

huffed breaths sing of olden notes

October shimmers

on marshland trails bound to gleam

before winter shifts to white

He huffed and he puffed and he blew the side out of the house.
The other wolves were laughing, as was an eyewitness mouse.
Birthday cake was all right, but the house was destroyed by his huff.
You will have to fix this said his Grandma who sounded angry and gruff....

Not content to dwell in the shadow of earth
she threw aside caution and grace.
She huffed and she puffed for all that it was worth
until she went red in the face.

Ashley, spouse of her nemesis ~
Vain eyes covet the weak.

Rhett longed for her beauty ~
To harness the wild horse.

Scarlett shook her harness bells,
Huffed and turned her mane.

Fierce love fought for keeps.
The devil dressed in red.

Bonnie Blue ~ Rhett’s only love.
Dear daughter’s death despises marriage....

A poetess thought she was such unique, hot stuff.
     Disposed was she, to writing in the buff!
     "What's so wrong with that" she huffed.
     I told her unequivocally, in friendly puffs:
     "Doing that, in your front window is arrestable,plain, dumb, stuff!"

D ug it out from under the stairs,
I  knew it would be useful someday.
S aving it I was for future repairs,
C huffed I never threw it away.
A ll in good order as good as new,
R atchets and spindles all spinning.
D amned if I know what it used to do,
E minently too good for binning.
D on't care what the missus might say,
...........I'm keeping this sucker for a rainy day....

"Must you always rhyme?",said he.
"Must you be a show-off?",said she.

"Each comment a grand show of your jocularity,"she huffed.
"Ah, you are just so jealous,"he puffed

"Not really,"said she' with serenity.
"I just know you are capable of sonnetry."

"But instead,lazily you pen footies," 
Hardly sourced from the great Muses!

WORD FOR TODAY: FIT

Previously unrecognized recruitment errors are now taking a HIT
They huffed and puffed but lacked the passion and required GRIT
Firms now realize that while talent is good; the cap must also FIT 
Recruits that don’t fit the team might eventually drag it into a PIT
Patience is required to nurture new hires; initiate them bit by BIT
The bad ones will be sieved away but the good ones wear the KIT

The farmer said to the cow
Be quiet you old sow
To which she replied
I am not a pig, I am a mooing cow!
He looked at her mockingly
Saying "That is yet to be determined"
She huffed and puffed as he called the butcher.

Whether she was a cow, or a pig or even a one legged chicken
She is now the silent one.

For on the table she sits
A rightful dish along with the haggis
The Fox shall enjoy his menu de la soir
Roasted and basted
Merry Christmas to one and all!...
