Come Back Little Sheba

barnum would have been proud
bulldogs in too twos
embraces for show
disks and dark booths
raw raws
scaffolding on saxophones
Scotland-yards of curtains
damp mermen
virginia     sweet william 
and dollar bills in
the greatest broken worth

A ninety thousand dollar Jeep,
And that’s a standard one, no less!
The ‘23 Grand Wagoneer
Conquers the school lines best, I guess.

If Coleridge dreamt of Rubikahns
With pricing up among the stars,
I’d search for stash of heroin
And check his needle arm for scars.

A capital idea though
And P. T. Barnum comes to mind,
So climb up in that Wagoneer
And leave those school moms far behind.

Untrusting Miracle Man 8-27-2023 A beautiful face or well known name, will endorse a product using their fame. Many assume that means it’s better made, but the raw truth is they’re getting paid. Most of the merchandise they’ve never tried, and to the consumer they’ve flat out lied. While they’re getting richer others get by, but the spiel goes on, and it’s buy, buy, buy. “There’s a sucker born every minute” P.T.Barnum
