A Bankable Poem Saved My Life

At eighteen,
a bankable poem
saved my life.
I cannot reveal
the author's name
for copyright reasons,
but,
his poem set me straight
and wasn't hard to read.

Ladies and gentlemen of the rat race,
listen up!
These bankable poems
are written for you!
They have your names on them.
They are meant for your consumption.
So consume to your heart's content
and savor
the miracle of bankable poetry!
