Run, Rat, Run

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

Rick the Balloon Man

 “Would you like a balloon?” Rick the balloon man asked. “It’s only 25 cents.”

“Yes, please,” Vanessa said.

Rick took out a balloon from his pocket and gave it to her.

Vanessa looked at it in confusion. “Uh, it’s not inflated.”

“Oh, you wanted an inflated balloon?”

“Well, yeah.”

“That’ll be 20 bucks.”

“Wait, what?! 20 bucks!?”

“Yes. And it’ll be an extra 5 bucks for the string.”

“What on earth makes you think people are going to pay 25 bucks for one balloon?”

“I mean, it has worked before. I had lots and lots of customers eager to buy my balloons.” He rubbed his chin. “Then again, I did hold them at gunpoint.”

“You did what!?”

“That was the perfect marketing strategy. Too bad I had my gun license taken away. Oh well, I’ll lower the price. You can have an inflated balloon with the string for 2 dollars. How ‘bout it?”

“On second thought, I change my mind. Have a nice day.”
