Ode to Telethons

Oh good cause, why must you taunt me with your ethical ways?
You tempt us into turning over my hard earned money for “charitable reasons”.
You torture me with emotional testomonials, coaxing me even closer to a generous donation.
Animals in need, a country in crisis, it is all so moving!
You put a number on the screen forcing my hand ever closer to the phone.
You bombard me with more!
A child’s dying wish, a starving veteran out on the streets, let me help!
Finally they ask me one simple question.
Will you help?

(Probably not)
