A Fool and Her Money

He's an infomercial
that came on late at night
when I was weak
and tired
and a little bit drunk
I bought
his forevers
like miracles
like liquid diets
like knives that cut
through steel
like the solution
to any problem
in only three easy steps
He sold me
with sincerity
with gaurantees
with a price
that couldn't be beat
but wait!
There's more.

I said
It sounds too good
to be true
he said
This time it's different

Now it's one more useless thing
stacked in the back of the closet
that cost me way too much
and makes me believe
miracles
are for suckers.

I tend to just read poetry.. kind of skimming through it. But that one I really liked. Nice!

Let me guess - was it only $39.99, and did you get a bonus for buying early and often? My closet is getting full, too.
