Mahogany mandoline
Mary's misanthropic mother wanted to
make her
major in
marketing. “You will
make more money managing men in
marketing maneuvers than
making music on your
mahogany mandolin.”
Mary mourned. “But
making music makes me merry.”
“Money can
modify most anything.
Make your
money marketing merchandise.”
Mary was mad.
Marketing merged monkey moves with
manipulation and
managing minions.
But then
Mary met Mike. Mike was a
magician, a
man who
made money mesmerizing the
masses. Mike managed to
make Mary's mother understand.
Mary missed music.
Mary majored in
music and
married Mike and now
makes music for
millions.
