"Keeping it Natural"
The sesame plant produces oil, often for soap.
After a hectic day of gardening, the ratio of work
to sweat requires both lather & water to say "Nope"
to the grime. No bureaucratic suds can bubble & perk
the dirt loose the way our sesame brand can.
Our seeds are organic; so is our cleanser.
It's not from your standard corporate dispenser.
Neither is it only halfway good for dirt removal
like some products enjoying government approval.
So, here's your plan:
Put your trust in Nature!
Always more effective,
than any elective Executive
or Legislature!

PS. Regarding today's solution, I am reminded (Spooner-wise) of a recent episode of a Nature program in which a big cat's cubs were hesitating to leave their den. Their momma had to use tough love to persuade them it was time to leave the cozy "Shy ones' Lair."
"Well Done"
When Phil took the job at the plant
his pay was initially scant.
But although his days were hectic
he found the work there electric.
His experiments were a key
to inventions dubbed "Sesame."
That earned him a promising share
of the ratio of benefits there.
This made him roar like a lion
for he was now a virtual scion.
Years later he still has good health,
and enjoys his generous wealth.
G'Morning, Misty ~
Good for your Phil.
He overcame his initial struggle to get by on little pay and a hassle of a schedule and managed to make his contributions indispensable to the plant's operations.
In return, management has rewarded him appropriately. He is now a partial owner and living well in the prime of life.
Now is the perfect time to look around and see if there is anyone he would like to share his fortune with.
Any prospects on the horizon?

BTW, smart of Phil--and of you!--to label his products "Sesame."
Unless you start with those *#%! seeds, they must always be an afterthought. You managed to make them almost central to Phil''s story.
I wonder if his "inventions" were patented mechanical devices, or some type of software/intellectual property? The latter seem to be tougher to walk away with-- if necessary.

And another use of that word
So Chet planted himself in a front row seat
And listened to stories of despair and utter defeat.
Some related tales of a hectic life in bars
Others because of the alcohol ratio when stopped in their cars.
The constant message he heard that set them free
As if they'd opened the exit door by saying "Open sesame!"
Was a Higher Power would give them strength if they'd let it.
To whom unfailingly each admitted the lion's share of the credit

I had atria for #2 but it didn't fit
Go natural says OMK which is good advice. I had unsolicited advice telling me to stay away from artificial sweeteners.
Now there's Phil not to be confused with my son. A secret project codename SESAME. Perhaps a microchip that will open doors electronically locked. For what was in Phil's brain they had to promote him or...
Kill him.

Wow! Terrific poems this morning--Wow! Your "Nature" verse blew me away this morning, Ol'Man Keith, and then to get your gracious and kind response to my simple one.
And then another interesting and complex Chet verse from Wilbur--many thanks for that too.
I have a crazy morning with a phone call to Dad in just a few minutes, but will try to check in with both of you later in the day, if I can.
Wilbur, I've never been to an AA meeting; it seems simultaneously depressing and encouraging. Thank goodness tea and coffee are my beverages of choice!
Wilbur ~ A fine continuation of your AA story.
I sometimes wonder, never having been to a meeting myself, but having seen many depictions in movies and on TV, aren't the members tempted to outdo one another in their tales of degradation & despair?
As a storyteller myself, I know that to be a natural desire--to up the ante when telling such histories.
I wonder if AA has some method to thwart such hyping?
Or, contrariwise, if they are content to let it take a natural course. After all, the poor liars are apt to find themselves detected and exposed by the group.
The better liars may be taken at face value, with their stories serving as effective horror tales.
Yes, "Open Sesame" reinstates the original use of the phrase, as employed in the Ali Baba legend.
Somebody had to use it that way, and the credit goes to Wilbur!

Well AA Meetings are liable to be held anywhere. There was one at the Caliente Club, a nudist colony.
But things didn't go so well. The idea at AA is to Identify. But no. Instead everyone was busy….
Wait for it…..
Comparing BOTTOMS!!!

OMK, the latest iteration is Mom. I like it. There's thousands of meetings and practically all are different LL l
