The Great Unsubscribe!

a poem by Joe J Thomas

 
Classes! Deals! Special Offers!
Designed to fill the seller’s coffers
From these my in-box overflows
When will they stop? No one knows!
I will end these desperate pleas
The needy masses who push their cheese
Delete! Purge! Unsubscribe!
Please do forgive my diatribe

I cannot stand their marketing pitch
The volume raised, here comes the hitch
Fifty dollars off! Your last chance!
Discover your brand! Your image enhance!
Pick up your Oscar! Become a star!
Take our class! Free demo and open bar!
I smash and trash till all are gone
Working hard until the dawn
I can’t stop now, there’s more to do.
A swarm of questions breaking through!
The lazy, confused, and starry-eyed
Their inane jabber I can’t abide
Their queries come from far and near
And none can Google, this I fear
The answers all are on the net
This simple truth they do not get
Unsubscribe! Delete! Purge!
Only these fulfill my urge.
I clean them all, away from sight
I flush them down a watery flight
At last! They’re gone! My head is cleared.
Removed are all the junk I feared
My in-box cleaned of what I deplored
What to do now? Gosh, I’m bored….
