Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
We won’t get $25K. We will not!
If you’re just tuning in, Grist’s been struck by a curse.
Unless you help out, we’re stuck speaking in verse.
“Oh no, this can’t be,” you might be retorting,
“This rhyme scheme will starve us of good food reporting.”
Just five measly bucks will make this curse scram
and I’ll go back to writing on green eggs and ham.
You’ve got brains in your head and feet in your shoes,
Please consider supporting our brainy green news.
With our readers’ support, we’re sure to succeed.
Ninety-nine and three-quarters percent guaranteed!
So if you want to shake off this Seuss-ian rhyme,
Donate today — and thanks for your dime.
Yours Seuss-ly,
Twilight Greenaway
Grist Food Editor
