SOAPY WATER

Despite the recession

it is unlikely that poetry prices will rise.

Poetry produces unreliable returns.

Alternative poetries are looking interesting.

You are urged to conserve and not to waste a drop.

For instance, replace a tap that dripped and dripped with a dripping tap,

or you may even choose to rewrite, eliminating the phrase entirely.

Please do not let it run for ages while you look out the window,

testing it with your hand until it is as hot as you really like it.

Never leave a working poem unattended.

Turn off a poem when it is not successful

Much can be recycled, the new on the bones of the old.

Expressive efficiency can be improved by radiation and convection;

please avoid fumes and combustible release of trapped gases;

burning poetry gives only momentary satisfaction.

A cheaper poem can be as efficient if not as attractive.

Try installing a poetry pump.

(New poetry is slimline and often puzzling)

World poetry is running low. Naturally, there is speculation

in solar poetry, wind poetry, tidal poetry,

all as old as mankind, since he learned to talk to himself.

Turn poetry off at the wall to avoid leakage.

Careless poetry is potentially hazardous.

Do you have a poetry guard?

Are you sure you are using dry poetry?

Knock it and listen.

You take Risk if it has been dislodged, ill-maintained, overloaded,

you may cause Flash when operated. Such as this.

Please have it repaired by a competent Poet.

Ensure poem is in a suitable container.

Unexpected poems must be safely housed,

as some remain active long afterwards.

(You can test your poem in soapy water)
