In the Land of Nod not long ago an actor took the office as president of the country. President Well Began talked tough as if he were back in a studio churning out B-movies. Noddians applauded his delivery style; his skill in making every crisis a joke left every foreign dignitary in stitches. They had fun but no work got done. Those Noddians who loved style than content in their president elected him for another term.
World crises never stopped brewing. After eight years in office he asked his political bosses how he fared so far. “We did all the dirty work to put lid on every crisis.” One said. “I walked extra mile,” said his Secretary of State.”
“Tough luck,”replied Well Began, ”history shall only credit me with your work.”
Tailpiece: However well begun must be finished well.
