A-Z sketches in verse: Resisting Rigmarole

Your rigmarole, I do not buy,

No multi-level mark.

So save your blather. Walk on by.

And hold the hogwash bark.

My vitamins are ample still,

Sufficient for my health.

I do not need a sample still

To help you build your wealth.

Preservatives and belly fat

Are not my deepest drags.

But those that tromp my welcome mat

Raise plenty of red flags.

Hold back your flimflam poppycock.

Not falling for your trap.

Whatever snake oil you may hawk,

Let’s just call it a wrap.
