Everyone needs their pound of flesh.
Sell to the flies at the county fair.
Package deal-
A steal.
A job lot.
Pick out the bits you want,
Feel free.
Discard the rest.
An eye for an eye
At the coconut shy-
And if you dare
A stuffed bear,
Sewn with cotton candy-
Sugar strands.
To sweeten the trade.
Marked.
Morgue.
