payless shoes & bflys

[Anne Kilmer]

You know, they're getting a lot of free attention here. Their goal is to
sell shoes; not to instruct the public on butterfly lore. 
I got a nickel says they don't care. 
If it were the telephone company now, or maybe a pest control company
... like the one whose ad showed a monarch butterfly rising up from a
field of some crop or other ... but they were on it, they killed it ... 
well, them you could maybe embarrass. 
I don't want to shock you, but some people don't mind if they make
mistakes. They have some pretty pictures and they're sellng a lot of
shoes. So it goes.
