Just add water

Just add water and stir.

You will be tranformed into

a venture capitalist who

believes that corporations are

people, who has made millions

laying off workers who were not

performing to your high expectations.

The ingredients of this mix are

proprietary, but you, too, could

invent your own formula.

Just add water, stir.

You are transported to a large

northeastern state where if you work

hard enough, you can leave your

impoverished roots behind in favor

of becoming the head of a corporation,

and, later, the state itself.  All it takes is

a little theft, a little patronage.

This package contains the American Dream,

high fructose corn syrup, polyunsaturated

lard, and confectioners’ sugar.  Just heat

to an overflowing boil and serve.
