Note:

This is an integration of an article on beef prices in Texas with the one form of classifieds I could find in today’s paper, legal notices. I switched out all of the nouns. This has necessarily an agricultural feel, but hopefully a little broader.  
 
Here is the prompt I was responding to:
 
Refer to the advertising section or the classifieds in your source newspaper. Create a poem by replacing all of the nouns in your chosen ad segment or classified listing with nouns from one article in the same newspaper. You may use multiple ads/classifieds, presented in the order of your choosing.
