The Chosen Few

Ms. Jan Portugal you are

one of the lucky finalists to

recieve $10 million dollars!

It seems I have been selected

I am a special discounted

preferred card carrying customer

with pre-approved credit and my

offers are once in a lifetime

There is no cost or obligation to me

I have a money back guarantee

I can cancel at any time the

Important Documents inside

I can cancel the offers

I can refuse to participate

but I cannot rescind the

unrelenting flood of printed trash

cramming my mailbox

Volumes of paper hyperboles

outnumbering even the names for god!

Double coupons - special one time offers

purporting the lowest priced savings

on everyday items with everything

reduced for clearance except

the high cost of advertising

which if rounded off could feed

the ten or so million non-preferred

non-owners of mailboxes!

Every now and then

a free sample comes

to feed, clean, cure or pacify

but nothing to soothe

my swollen mailbox

of the indigestible matter

forced on it or to eradicate

the space battling bulge

in my trash can where I toss

the unopened unclaimed windfalls

marked cart-sort and addressed to

Jan Portugal or current resident?!
