Bookmarks
Charities in search of cash
Send envelopes with pleas
And sometimes little gifts in hopes
My giving gene they’ll squeeze.
Most often it’s a sheet or two
Of labels with my name
And street address, but in addition,
Bookmarks sometimes came.
I use the labels less and less
As bills are paid online
And bookmarks to the pile
Of things passé I must consign.
Enticements might encourage
A donation, that is true,
But what once worked no longer is
Appealing to accrue.
