“Ex-KISS member Vinnie Vincent… is refusing to release what he calls the ‘greatest album of all time’ unless fans pay… $200 per song.”

It seems the way to get ahead in
culture is the way
the landmark piece, “Guitarmaggedon”
makes its fans prepay.

Inspired, I wrote a work of art:
a parody, in rhyme,
too good for any rating chart—
the greatest of all time.

Before I let you celebrate
my artful expertise,
you must provide the standard rate
(in US dollars, please).
