Is This So

I was a’ lookin’ through the paper,

When I saw a Web address,

It had me a bit interested,

For it was for an IQ test.



I thought about it a moment,

Then decided to look it up,

So I had the address noted,

And filled my coffee cup.



I typed in and found quite readily,

The IQ test that I required.

It said it was quite free,

And I would find out what I desired.



I sat the little test,

As I filled out the answers timed,

And finished to what was left,

To click a button with the resultant find,



That for $9.95 on my credit card,

I’d get sent an IQ profile,

I felt this just a bit daft,

This ain’t for free, I smiled.



So I decided to let it go,

And not seek my IQ score,

Then a little while later,

The result was received in e-mail stored.



It said I was a genius,

With a score of 156,

I thought probably it wasn’t serious,

Because I refused the credit card trick.



But then perhaps the lesson,

In the result and method found,

That to keep hold of your money,

Inteligence must abound.
