For years I’ve penned this stuff, and hoped,
Since enterprise was free,
I’d someday see a juicy check–
I mean from you to me.
You could have told me long ago
(The humane thing to do)
That all the checks I can expect
I’LL WRITE, from me to you!
Yes, poetry has many things
That make the world indict it–
But this should wash it up for good:
To HAVE TO PAY to WRITE IT!!
