My Opinion

by Jesse Sweetland

I have an opinion. You want it? Well you can't have it. It's MY opinion. If I gave it to you then I'd have to give one to everyone else. You don't want everyone else to feel left out, do you? I didn't think so. I might sell it to you, though.

How much do you think my opinion is worth? It's got to be worth a mint. Look at the way everyone fights over other people's opinions. You'd think there was a run on them. But we all know that's not true. You can't even GIVE the things away. They're everywhere.

What's this? A penny for my thoughts? Can't you do any better than that? It's a Grade-A, prime opinion, aged to perfection. Do you know how hard it is to find good, ripe opinions? Most are picked prematurely. You don't want one of those bitter, foul-smelling opinions now, do you?

Well fine then. If you're going to be like that then maybe I don't WANT you to have my opinion. You'd probably give it to everyone else, too. Spread it so thin it was meaningless. Well I'll show you! I'm going to keep it all to myself.

Go make your own opinion. Mine's too precious to give to the likes of you.
