COLD CUTS

BUDGET CUTS: AN ALLEGORY.

The doctor said "I have bad news for you this very day."

"There's lots of fat and waste on you that I must cut away."

"It's for your good and must be done; your friends have all agreed"

"that cutting you back down to size would be a noble deed."

"You have two feet when one will do; two eyes – that's one too many."

"You do not need to see so well when you can save a penny."

"I'll take an ear and pare your tongue down to a tiny slip"

"and most of your saliva glands are just a wasteful drip."

"One arm can be as good as two" the kindly doctor said.

"And then to finish up the job we'll just remove your head!"

I told the doc I would not be so sliced to make amends.

If there's cutting to be done please start upon my friends!

Taste the soup.

Smell your breath.

Now here's the scoop:

You're a piece of art, my friend.

Do not deny, do not pretend.

Now you need to make a statement;

How about "I really hate mint"?

Push the envelope, Cezanne ;

With a zither mow your lawn.

Take a urinal to church.

Build a house with just fried perch.

Take a page from Dr. Suess;

Milk a bat and ride a moose.

Do not cry "I think he plucks us!"
