A Poem: Able and Brad and Charlie and Dag

by

Taylor Jones

Four blokes went out

To find a path

That would show the way

To instant cash.

Abel

Able took off ,

Without telling the others.

He was lost but found

By a guru all dressed in black leather.

Said the guru to Abel,

To Abel’s delight,

“I made $10,000

In only one night!”

So the guru took Abel,

One trick at a time,

Grabbed him by the heels

And shook out his last dime.

Brad

Brad was smart,

The inquisitive type.

He knew what he wanted

And it had to be right.

Brad to chose the program,

He made a huge chart.

To Brad picking programs

Was reduced to an art.

But the process engulfed him,

It was his path to be right.

He finally decided but one thing to do,

He joined the swindlers and became a guru.

Charlie

Young Charlie came here

To Hard Work Land.

He put up a website,

Then sat on his hands.

He read all the lessons,

But skipped the hard task.

At the end of the race,

He came in last.

Dag

Dag came here too,

He worked through the task.

He asked other members to see what they knew.

He did what he started and always followed through.

In the end, it was Dag

Who won the great race,

Abel, Brad, and Charlie,

Couldn’t keep up to the pace.

The End
