Some People are Like Potatoes

Thanks very much to Helen Archibald, who posted this reading to the Guiding Mailing List!

Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don't want to soil their own hands.
They are called "Dick Tators."

Some people never seem motivated to participate, but are just content to watch while others do the work.
They are called "Speck Tators."

Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others do the work.
They are called "Comment Tators."

Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them.  It is too hot or too cold, too sour or too sweet.
They are called "Agie Tators."

There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help.
They are called "Hezzie Tators."

Some people can put up a front and pretend to be someone they are not.
They are called "Emma Tators."

Then there are those who love and do what they say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever they are doing and lend a helping hand, They bring real sun-shine into the lives of others.
They are called " Sweet Tators."
