one for a dollar

the large print gives
and the small print takes away,
I hear tom
waits sing.
going out of business,
everything must go,
half price.
fire sale,
bargains galore.
one for a dollar.
one for a dollar,
no salesman will visit
your home.
step right up.
step right up. it's a song
I wish I would
have written.
would have sung.
would have invented.
but I didn't, so I'll
just have to steal
a line or two,
keep the beat and sing
the song.
