Scam

We would like to welcome you Please come in and sit down We’re so happy to offer you A seat (down on the ground) We think your work is special And for a tiny price We would like to show the world Your work, won’t that be nice? See your name (for a tiny fee) In the books we’ll sell at…cough But we’re offering you this special price Of fifty percent off! What page you ask? Well let me see Hand me that magnify glass? Yes here you are, next to two great works “Belly Lint” and “Gas” Every poem another dream (And another wad of bills.) Those who hope to share their work, Pride, our easiest thrill. We don’t mean to trick you That’s a bonus in the deal. See where you signed? Well legally, you paid, we didn’t steal. The books they maybe shabby The CD poor quality We don’t cater to poets friend We slurp from vanity. You didn’t get MY money But not all see that it’s a sham I searched for a beginners’ friend I found another legal scam.
