(Old, but still bounces)

To: Artgum(R)

Noteworthy metaphor

but more than that,

a reliable eraser

and a dry-cleaner

so that after rubbing out an error

a ground powder cleans and bleaches the paper

of smudges.

How great it would be to have an ARTGUM(R)

to purge us of all our sins.

We've had ARTGUM(R) on hand for many years

and we venture you've got it too

still knocking around in a forgotten desk drawer;

Lore has it that some people have smelled Artgum

for stress easement;

We didn't know we were doing that when we held an Artgum

to our vexed nose

while scouring our brain for

a right answer

but now that it is mentioned

- on the web, no less -

we say yes

that could have been so

.................

How wonderful if we could just take an ARTGUM(R)

to life's larger vexations;

a huge cube of free FORGIVENESS

to have impossible messes taken away,

all cleared up;

leaving us

clean-slated

and heavenly

high
