The Sweetest Bootleg Juice Yet Imagined

Picture
For months
There was a sign in my window,
"Come In and Get the Sweetest Bootleg Juice
Anyone Has Yet Imagined!"
But no one ever came knocking...
Then I set up a table near the street
With that very same sign
Offering the Sweetest Bootleg Juice,
But no one stopped to make a purchase...
Then I thought of a new brilliant idea,
I would shout "I'll pay you to try It!"
With no takers still, I wondered
If I should enter a new line of work,
But with that very thought in mind

Someone finally asked for a sample!
I explained as I handed him a carefully folded note
"The Holy One has entrusted me with sharing
A brand new Scripture, I call it
The Sweetest Bootleg Juice Yet Imagined...
It is written in that note and is only one sentence short!"
He complained of false advertising
And raised his fist threatening to call the authorities,
But curiosity compelled him to read his note
"My eyelashes yearn to tickle your neck!"
In a huff, he crumbled the Scripture and threw
The Sweetest Bootleg Juice Yet Imagined on the ground
And turned to walk away... I called after him
"But don't you see how this changes everything?"
