The Businessman Speaks

by Buddah Moskowitz

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

Looking around this
profane and prodigious
marketplace,
there is one answer
for everything:

larger breasts.

If it cannot sell
on its own merits,

if it is deemed inferior
and rightfully ignored
by the masses
then put a pair
of big tits on it.

And if the tits
aren't big enough,
make them bigger.

This is neither a great secret
nor insight
as endless
magazine covers
advertisements
television shows
and elective surgeries
demonstrate.

While I protest the smug
and callous exploitation
of the feminine divine
I privately take comfort in
the things beyond
the marketer's avarice:
neither the
breathless beauty of a rose
nor the power and glory
of a symphony
needs augmentation.

Still
I confess my desire for
these little written toys
of mine
to reach out to you
and arrest your
point and click habit
just long enough
for you to see me
and say "well done."

But I know the quality
of my product
and I know my competition

and if I could

I would put this poem
in a wet T-shirt.
