Joe Louis Séance Scam
Let's workshop this poem about a sports betting scam ("act now or never") whose "100% guaranteed return" is technically a 1000% guarantee since a spirit medium/psychic is at the helm
Joe Louis Séance Scam
The spirit medium mass-mailed
predictions for every outcome
in the high-profile bout
(W-L-D) and, restricting himself
to recipients of true prediction,
repeated the process
again and again until
he had culled a group likely to pay
for the dead boxer’s next call.
"Hello Central, get me Detroit. I need to get the Brown Bomber on the line."
