Too Good Poem by William Kofoed

Early today

Then I was

Found something

I wanted to buy

It was priced

Way to low

No one else

Was even close

Right away I knew

What I had found

I found a price

Too good to be true

Now and then

Someone will steal

By selling something

Very nice

With a price

We can't resist

We know that

We should walk away

It is too good

It won't be real

But then

Sometimes it is

So a fool

Still we buy

And wait still

We get the news

It was a lie

Just as we knew
