Save a Poet
(imagine Sally Struther's voice)
In our own country
thousands of poets are starving
every day
their books don't sell
except to friends and family
You can help to end this literary poverty
(pictures of starving poets with big eyes
swollen bellies with signs around their necks
with heartwarming poetic lines like
'Will Write for Food' etc)
by contributing to the Starving Poet's Fund
for only $19.95 per month
you can provide a poet with the little
necessities of the craft
liquor, cigarettes etc.
Less than a dollar a day
will ensure that these needy poets
can continue with the simile and metaphor
that so enriches our world
in addition you will receive
every month
a poem and a photograph from your poet
