The Letter


Can you loan me a million dollars?  It’s all that I’d need

To pay all my bills and get things back up to speed.

 

I know it sounds like a lot, but I’ve got a good plan

And I’ll pay you right back just as soon as I can.

 

You see, I’m going to invest in a marvelous invention.

One that will change our whole society’s convention.

 

I cannot tell you what it is, just that it’s monumental.

It will make our world a place of unlimited potential.

 

I only need a year or two to get the whole thing going.

Then my name will be one that everyone is knowing.

 

So, what do you say?  Would you change life for the better?

Just let me know when I can start, after you’ve read this letter.

  1. Uh… are you Canadian? (this sounds like it could be written by any one of our last decade of prime ministers…and yes – I have placed ALL their ‘title to the country’ in lower case…)

    Flimflam – some can work it – others twirk it.

    Peace,
    M,L.
