My email
screams to me
Begs and
pleads for my essential support
Only I can
stop the evil
My three
dollar pledge
Will move
mountains
Slay the
Goliath with whom we battle
Trip up
Citizens United
Make the
political game fair
Meh . . .
Those guys
have tons of money
I know. I
just read the list.
The Forbes
400 richest
They are
number five and six
My number on
the list can’t be calculated
Negative net
worth isn’t considered
Can’t even
afford the magazine
Had to look
it up on-line
But the
emails keep coming
And my 3
dollars from 2 years ago
Bought me
fifteen emails a day
Personal
requests from previous Poet Laureates
Past and
current presidents
Party
leaders and assorted dignitaries
And
concerned citizens alike
But, I mean,
those other guys
Their
totally loaded
And they
still lost
I think I’ll
keep my 3 dollars
And just
give my 2 cents
