                      BUSINESS IS GETTING VERSE
                        Reinsberg & Ackerman

Being an account 
Of an attempt
To "ghu" down
The amount 
Of a certain book 
I finally took
From Marky.

Reinsberg: "If fourbucks is too high,"
I'll give the price a slash--
'Goddess of Atvatabar---
Now three dollars cash!"

To which I replyd: 
(Just like a snide): "3 bucks more 
Than I've payd bfor
For any book. Look--
I gotta be thrifty
(Cause I've my eye on
the Chicon)
Will U sell it for $2.50?"

& in the affirmative he decided, 
The while he gently chided:
"You drive a hard bargin--you're 
cunning and shrewd; 
You're breaking my heart, sir, but I'm in 
the mood

To help you be thrifty
(How could I say 'nay'?).
Send the two fifty:
The book's on the way." 

& thus end the transactions 
Via Penny Postcards,
& these wonder less poetryarns
by the Boobyhatch Bards...
