THERE was an old man who
ONCE before
WAS meeting
A
MAN that could give him a job if he met with someone

WHO would give him a case that
HAD a secret hidden inside
A
SMALL case, the old man made a
PlAN that he would take the case at 12 and

TO check the box before giving it to the stranger to
BECOME rich, then he meet with the deliverer who would make him
RICH, when he looked
IN the box there was
A surprise that, then he decided he would never deliver the package to the stranger any
DAY of his life.

I wrote this poem so that you could read it two ways. You could read it normally, or you could read it from top to bottom, only reading the words in all caps. Either way it tells the same story
