Selected To Receive
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Congratulations!
We have selected you to receive,
The latest vaccine to prevent...
Any sign of mental illness.
You may perceive to believe,
Is causing the madness.
Spreading throughout today's society.
Guaranteeing you alone will be left,
Removed from feeling...
Abnormally deceived.
Done purposely to choose you to victimize.
Intentionally.
If only you accept and apply immediately.
For an appointment to be innoculated.
With an experimental and painless serum.
Tested by our experts.
Located near you under a tent.
Placed directly in your neighborhood.
Where there you will be given a gift,
Of a free jerk chicken sandwich.
Or a baby back rib dinner.
Cooked the way you like it to eat.
But remember this...
You have been picked and selected.
So do not forget.
To respond within 24 hours.
Or your invitation to reply and submit,
Quicker than the Sunrises to set.
Before this offer to you given.
Is somehow dismissed.
Wishing you joy, happiness and love!
