Quid Pro Quo Infomercial

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Let the paranoia continue. Just a few short months before new *O&^#% minute election madness hits the fan. Hard to be patient, isn’t it? But, there is an answer. (Image by Mark Bryan)

Quid Pro Quo Infomercial

 

But wait…there’s more…

 

With your relevance at risk
Like follicle betrayal

Ego may afford little time for acceptance

 

Whether due to stress

Or those pesky genes

Loss is loss

 

But hey, you don’t have to “get used to it”

 

The democracy may be at risk

But with orange suntan aplenty

There’s a savior waiting to rebuild

With yet another Rogaine of disappointment

 

But wait…there’s more…

 

For just three more pounds of your flesh

Accompanied by background checks our way

And the complete demise of education

Plus, just a few more strands from your bald pate

You can have the miracle

 

The Evolved Mac Burger party fix

 

Once indulged

 

Caring about your mancave quaff or womanhood blond streaking

Will be irrelevant

 

So, don’t wait

Order your quid pro quo now

Just use the convenient

Last unemployment check

And contribute before my life-line ends

 

You can have…

 

Have…

 

Uh….

 

Free pass for avoiding any more of my bullshit?

'Like follicle betrayal" Hahahahaha. Funny. It's difficult watching the government soap opera anymore. Tulsi Gabbard thinks America is doomed. The rancor and hatred in this country feels like it's going places its never been before. Kinda like Star Trek. Thankfully, there's still some sanity and beauty in this darkening world. I like focusing on that. Peace. r

Nowadays the quid pro quo is BS for BS and not much more. If one does anything of value, what comes back is still BS.
