The Signs of Jonah – Discounts for Lots of 100 or More

All the answers are there
In a paperboard square
The latest so-true schtick
On the end of a stick

With the dutiful rant
With the dutiful chant
A bleat: “Hey, hey! Ho, ho!
Something-something has got to go!”

Someday I hope to meet
A man without answers
A man with an old book
A man with a walking stick

No, I won’t follow him –
For I follow no one –
But I would be honored
To walk with him awhile
