Supporting Your On-line Poet

If you click the little add next to this poem

I make about forty-five cents.

I don’t know if telling you that

If I’m being immoral or not playing fair,

Or if AdSence will find me guilty of breaking the rules

And terminate our little arrangement,

But I’m guessing they don’t really care

What causes you to click their add,

Or if you even read them,

So I offer this as a public service,

Strictly in support of the literary aspirations

Of your humble on-line poet,

Or, if you prefer, a crass plea for mammon,

As carpentry work this holiday season

(Do you like how I slipped that in?)

Is a bit thin.
