Notes About The Poem

Simple Capitalism

Good morning, how are you going? 
What is it you’re hoping to find?
Let me help you in your search,
Is there something you have in mind?

Maybe you’d like the new stock just in…
Do you have a budget to spend?
Are you looking just for yourself,
Or is it a gift for a friend?

Or are you looking for deeper things,
Like something to help your soul?
Something a bit more elusive:
A feeling to make you whole?

I can give you whatever you want,
From a product to service to thrill,
And I'll give it to you right here and now,
When you wave that dollar bill.

Brilliant Lewis, this reminds me of a pet shop in a nearby town that advertised that they would get whatever exotic animal you would want for a price, well written, Roy. :)
