 Modern Day Asclepius 

A little girl went to a construction site with her dad.

He had gotten her a pink hard-hat,

And she had that on,

And while he got busy supervising, 

She discovered his bullhorn.


She took it out into the yard

And made a big sign:

“Say something through the bullhorn

For only one dollar!”

And soon a big line had formed.


She made quite a lot of money that day,

More than she’d ever made at her lemonade stand.

Everybody had something to say

And one dollar to say it loud.

I guess there’s a never ending supply 

Of us folks who are proud to pay

To have our say

And our five minutes of fame.
