These poems

have proven to be 99.5% effective

in curing the blues

instilling laughter

postponing death

 

poetry overrides

the lack of zinc in your diet

also the lack of humor

in a humorless world

 

take one poem a day

on an empty stomach

they will settle your nerves

and fill the empty space in your life

 

if used on a daily basis

poetry can cure your ills

and prevent infection

poems will get you back to normal

if you ever were normal

 

spread it around

poetry is contagious.
