Dentistry was painless,
And bicycles were chainless,
Carriages were horseless
And many laws enforceless.
Then, cooking was fireless,
Radio was wireless,
Cigars were nicotineless,
And coffee caffeineless.
Soon, oranges were seedless,
The putting green was weedless,
Men were going hatless,
The proper diet fatless.
New paved roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,
Our tennis courts are sodless,
And new religions godless.
Marketing is feckless --
Everything is "pay less" --
Payment is money-less;
Is the value worth less?
Internet access is endless,
Display screens are CRT-less.
Online storage is diskless,
And tech support is faceless
Insurance policies are paperless,
Policy exclusions are defenseless,
Underwriting is relentless --
Has insurance become humanless?
Poem on Insurance and Humanity
"Marketing is feckless/Everything is "pay less"/Payment is money-less;/Is the value worth less?"
