Doug Haiku

wingtips on his feet
kicks the widow onto street
scrooge and Doug smiles sweet

ketchup on his tie
no notice of fly undone
cheerful banker one

This reminds me of how fortunate I am that I was able to retire before this current Quarantine era. If I were still working today, I would have to be logging onto zoom and remotely instructing widows how to throw themselves into snowbanks.

Happy Birthday, Doug!

Happy birthday, Doug!

That was one of mine. I saved the works for posterity. Even though it was my suggested contest I was eager to participate. A couple of people went multi-media.

Another of mine was...

From the Bad Poets Society...

Debits and credits are tools of his trade
Joys from transactions in his journal made

And when fiscal darkness came to our fair land
Doug pushed accountants to take a brave stand

Together they fought fiscal strife with aplomb
Though some said as a banker, he must be a bum

Still Doug was strong and worked many nights
He fought for decent folks, and their fiscal rights

In the end liabilities fell as assets grew again
And Doug said, "I’m nearly as great as that guy Ken."

Nice!!!!!

You missed your calling. You shoulda been a poet!

Birthday blessings!

heh! Just one more thing I could be mediocre at - but bantering with Doug is a joy in life - not to be missed.

Good ones kluurs!

As I said yesterday on FBK, I wish you the happiest birthday and year to come!

Your wit is one of my greatest pleasures on WTF.
