Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Professionals Resort To Advertising

Professionals Resort to Advertising 

By Elton Camp

There was a day when it wasn’t thought wise
That any professional person should advertise

Solicitations were never seen
Lest the professional it demean

So unseemly it then did appear
“Come get your operation here.”

“Let me handle your trial for you.
For no other lawyer as well will do.”

“Come to me to pull your tooth.
I am so skilled, it is the truth.”

But those ideas are no longer so,
They having changed years ago

On billboards, doctors now appear
Lawyers, to boast, no longer fear

A doctor’s advertisement may say
“If I kill you, you don’t have to pay”

“I’ll win your case, sure as can be
If not, then my law service is free.”

I wouldn’t be shocked on any day to see
A professor’s, “Get your credits with me.”
