[Newspoetry] What to do when you run out of guinea pigs

What to do when you run out of guinea pigs

Someone at the EPA
has recently been reading
Jonathan Swift.

Unfortunately
They were unable 
to detect the satire.

They observed all the guinea pigs
in the chemical testing chambers
were dying.

So they searched for new subjects,
and noticed several complaints
about a lousy economy

and unemployment.
So they arrived
at a brilliant conclusion.

"Poor People: 
give us your kids,
and we'll give you video cameras!"

It sounded good to the EPA.
But a few people have complained.
So they're reassesing the idea.
