Crossbreed Charlatan
The ex-Hippie, who became a Yuppie
By selling New Age snake oil on the Web,
An ageing Old English Sheepdog puppy,
Whose fur and ethics, jointly on the ebb,
Is now a man who’s mostly pathetic
From any point of view. HIs thinning hair
Is grizzled and no longer esthetic
(If ever it was) and his erstwhile flair
For being silly/loveable/floppy
Has gone into decline, now that he spends
Less time with weed, the white stuff, and poppy.
His crude commercial interest now extends
To hyping holy meditation beads,
A fairground barker preying on weak breeds.
