he has a million dollars
at least a million dollars
but he doesn’t have friends anymore
he has associates now
he used to have friends
he had at least six close friends
and each of them
had friends of their own
at least six
that’s thirty six
at least
and each of them had six friends
and they had six friends
and they had six
and they had six
and so on
and so on
it was incredible
he himself was amazed
at the enormity of his family of friends
and friends of friends
and at the snowball
turned avalanche
profitability
of conning each of them
out of only a few dollars
and now he has a million dollars
at least
and he wants you
to have a million dollars too
