Sold! To The Highest Bidder Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Integrity.
Credibility.
And...hmmm,
Let's see.
A few tainted and damaged souls.
Ummm. Hmmm...
And,
Throw in...
A couple of those,
Still clinging onto their pretensions.
I love this refreshing take,
Of that centuries old auction block.
What a tragedy that was.
And here we are today.
Cleaning up your sleaze,
At remarkable reduced and cheap prices.
Oh no!
I can't believe this.
I'm out of cash.
Will a promissory note to pay,
Do?

"Yes. Yes. Of course.
Just...
Remove them as quick as possible, please.
Sold! To The Highest bidder.
Next? "
