The paper said they would blacklist
if you own a ring that is lavish
even a gold tooth is extravagant
anything gaudy they're not having it
well I'm flat broke and just a plain Jane
so the vessel of blacklisting will stay away

For today’s prompt, write a poem with at least four of the following eight words:

Of course, ambitious poets will immediately try using all eight words, but four will do if you’re just trying to get through today’s prompt.
