Some people are like potatoes. They are those who are content to watch while others think and work. They are called Spec-Tators.
Some never help, but are gifted at finding fault and telling others how to do it. They are called Comment-Tators.
There are people who cause problems by asking others to agree with them that it is too hot, too cold, and too sweet. They are called Agi-Tators.
Then there are people who say they will help, but somehow they never get around to it. They are Hezzie-Tators.
There are some people who pretend to be someone they are not. They are called Emma-Tators.
Those who are bossy and like to tell others what to do, but would not soil their own hands may be called Dick-Tators.
Then there are those who smile and do what they say they will. They are always prepared to lend a helping hand. They bring real sunshine into the lives and work of others. They make work and life flow more smoothly for everyone. They are called Sweet-Tators.
