Classic poem

Floss won't save you from an Abyss

by Emily Dickinson

Floss won't save you from an Abyss

But a Rope will --

Notwithstanding a Rope for a Souvenir

Is not beautiful --

But I tell you every step is a Trough --

And every stop a Well --

Now will you have the Rope or the Floss?

Prices reasonable --
