WE HAVE CASH TO BUY YOUR UGLY HOUSE if you will sell it.
Someone has a truck for sale, but don’t know how to spell it.
Handy numbers you can call when time is of the essence,
Babysitting, frisbee golf, guitar and banjo lessons.

Pups and kittens, ducks and chickens, rabbits, goats, and horses:
Sacrifices offered up to economic forces.
Business cards for people trapped in dying occupations—
Quiet cries for help disguised as friendly affirmations.
