Mr & Mrs Sisyphus
Wife sick on couch
brought on by stress
of over work and money worries
The daily rolling
of the worry rock
up our uncivilized hill
In this country
we eat our own
after we eat everyone else
But don't worry
every sale comes with
a conditional warranty
Nothing will break
until you get it home
and through your front door
Break two
get third break free
for thrice initial cost
All ingredients
guaranteed toxic
shoddy, bad for the body
Step right up
get your new uselessness here
no need to wait
Small initial payments
which will rapidly bloom
bigger than your eyes, head, or check
There's a chump for every trump
small hands optional
truth not included
- Steven B. Smith
