@DeplorableDan Thanks for the title change. This kind of fits in now I think.
Sometimes I feel

Like I've been tied

I agree, thanks for the title change and all of the eloquent poetry from everyone. I needed a good laugh and this thread did not disappoint. I almost spit coffee out on my computer several times.
They sold us this box, as a mystery
Said “Find a red core” and claim victory
But the unboxings were lame
Not a very fun game
This might have the worst odds in history
Awesome!! I was going to write a limerick but opted for a Seusism instead!
I ordered this box,
that was red like the pox.
You buy them quit blind,
To see what you’ll find.
But most find that they’ve been fooled,
and almost nobody will be schooled.
Because the box was no vault,
and the consumer’s at fault,
trying to get rich never stops.
Presale unbeknownst to most.
Run by a company who shills as host.
Preferential treatment to influencers.
They promote and are convincers.
What could go wrong you think?
Bought a box, you're toast.
There once were some guys on a forum; each thought he was king of the hill
Padding their counts in massive amounts, hijacking threads at their will
They felt quite superior; hey that's the spirit- "My take is the right one, and you all MUST hear it!"
Statistics and wordplay, whatever works- they thought themselves brilliant, but most thought "They're jerks."
Not realizing all of the distaste they'd earn, when their words were read by those simply coming to learn.
Instead of some threads with coin knowledge and fun, they're just echo chambers for just two...or one.
So- when this spot's closed... say, where will you meet?
There's another place you can screw up... 'cross the street.
Here I sit in my dirty worn clothes and socks,
Staring in fascination at an expensive Vaultbox.
I know I could win, but likely I'll lose,
I just can't decide which to choose.
So, I look at my bank account and what do I see,
But taxes are pending to be taken from me.
So, I guess I will pass with a little tear,
While I go crack open a blue-ribbon beer.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc

This thread is now way above my scholastic abilities. I am going to go torch some iron and weld it back together. LOL
I lost a bet and had to say “you” for a month when my buddy asked that.
Edited to add quote.

I just want to know if anyone cheated and used chatgpt for their poetry ;p
On all that is holy, I certainly did not cheat
. Limericks are pretty simple, you just figure out what your rhyme words are and build off of that

Vault Box not for me
Six hundred way too much green
Little chance of red.

Gold Eagle flew
and VaultBox knew
Vaultbox is something I dread
It takes over every thread
A gamblers dream
If modern's your thing
But, this time I'll just stay in bed
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

But I do...frequently 🤣 LFG Red Core!!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Did you get screwed over…
By Vault Box too?
Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to flip
But only smarted.
Edit: rhyme.
