Help wanted-female
A stunning star-fish,
Dropped a dough- dish
While making the oceans bed.
oh how / do wish

Was all the lone lady said.
Moral: Stars and other artists
should not do their own, housework
There Are Others.
A cheerful chigger
Proud of his figure
Danced at the basketball
But he felt there no bigger
Than a poor well-digger
He was not in it all.
Moral: Every cat meows best at
his own fireside.
