Civics Lesson
By Edward S. Gault

Projects had to be
Analyzed for cost/benefit ratios.
Statistics were very important for this.
State and Federal budgets were
Totaled, then bill were drafted in the
House and Senate where they were
Examined and debated –after which the
Budget was increased to allow executive travel.
Unanimously passing, the bill became a law.
Costs were then forwarded to
Karl and Marge Tachspaer in Wichita.

The Jaws Of Math

Looking at numbers,
The way they never add up
-end of the month blues.

Take This Job and...

The Boss Speaks
by Edward S. Gault

You tell me
That you've worked
Your fingers to the bone.
Evidently
I haven't worked you
Near hard enough.
You wouldn't have
Any bones left in your hand.
Then I could let you go
There is after all
A budget you know.
