Making a Case

The iPhone 4 I bought today Just set me back a buck. It’s last year’s model, quite passé And so the deal was struck. I found out that it needs a case So it won’t fall and break, But I was really thrown off-base When I heard – no mistake – The purple case I liked (with teal) Was priced at fifty clams! What started as a groovy deal Soon wore the scent of scams. They say that nothing comes for free And that is not a lie, For stores that make no profit Are in very short supply.
