Notes About The Poem

Barefoot Writer Indeed

I saw me an ad on my home page
It's one I just couldn't resist 
"Become a Barefoot Writer"
And join the chart topping list
What a way to make a living
Just throw a few words on a page
Soon I'd be swimming in money
And Hailed as some modern sage
So I clicked, and I read testimonies
Boy, these guys sure had it made  
One guy said "No Bologna" 
He took off a year and  got paid
But there's one thing that makes me wonder
I admit, it has made me confused
If these writers can make so much money
Why can't they afford to buy shoes

Very funny, Jerry. You made me laugh. Thank you for cheering me up. By the way, you can read almost anything on the internet and very little of it is true.
