• 49 – Persuasion

  Come, clever man, come closer.
  Turn your handsome face towards this treasure.
  This is no ripe tomato doomed to rot,
  this is an appreciating ruby.
  Here, I’ll let you touch it. Feel its warmth, see how powerful the squeezes are, listen to its beat,
  a rhythm of masterpiece.
  It’s priceless–how can you not want it?
  There are other bidders you know, but you look like a keeper,
  I like you,
  so come back, wait!
  Because I don’t want you to miss the opportunity of a lifetime,
  I’ll dance push-pull advance-withdraw to make this sell even at my loss, really,
  so don’t walk away.
  Here, I’ll give it to you cheap.
  Don’t turn your handsome face away.
  Take it,
  you’ll thank me later.
