I design cards for eighteenth parties, And every other birthday. And I design cards for condolences, For folks who’ve passed away. My designs can be happy, sad or plain, Whatever you really want. And I can make them easy to read, In an “easy to read” sort of font. Then it occurred to me there’s money here, There’s a market for being kind. To make cards for people suffering alone, Alone in silence in their mind. For people cutting and for suicide attempts, Like people overdosing on a pill. To design intimate encouraging cards, For folks who are mentally ill. For the opportunity contest.
