she still thought her mosaic of giant artichokes was lacking.
Petulant Peanuts
Philip DePance and his coworker, Peanuts Burnes, were on a lunch break from
the philanthropic firm of “Paucity to Plethora.”
“I’m parched,” said Phil. “Let’s start this meal!”
They ordered fruit after the waiter perfunctorily told them that the banana
trees were prolific at this time of year, and they were brought spotted bananas
that seemed palatable enough.
But soon Phil turned pallid. “My nose is detecting something putrid,” he said.
“Eww!” Peanuts added. “It’s the bananas! I knew those spots presaged
something.”
“Waiter,” Phil called. “We are petulant already because of problems at
Paucity to Plethora and, to make a long story pithy, we do not have a penchant
for rotten banana stench permeating the room. Please dispose of the offending
fruit before the odor proliferates further!”
“I don’t smell anything,” the waiter replied.
“We will not be placated until we have palpable proof that the prevalent filth
is gone!” said Peanuts in the fashion of a true pedagogue.
Plaintively, full of pathos, the waiter smashed the bananas and took them
away. “Even posthumously, my precursor still makes me look like the paragon
of poor service! These bananas were planted by him!” he muttered as he stalked
off.
“Well, I feel better, Peanuts. We could work here!” Phil said, once again
placid.
A plethora of P words!
