Dear Craig, sweet Craig, oh Craig, my dear
Come close so I can whisper in your ear.
You taunt me with your updated list
Every week I check it or I'd be remiss.
Your seduction began slowly, with clothing and toys
Free items, reduced items, from various girls and boys.
Sometimes I catch the deal, feeling like a winner
Other days, I'm a big fat loser, cursing like a sinner.
A jogging stroller, a breadmaker, only fifty bucks
Size 6 pants, a train table, plastic flamingos and ducks.
When will it be enough? When will it end?
You tease me and you mock me, my friend.
How can I trust myself around your online shop?
When will the deals stop being so hot?
Craig, take your list and forget you know my name.
This affair of ours is over. I'm done with this game!

It is so dangerous!
But I have to admit you can find some cool things there. And some not so cool things. And downright scary things.
Best to stay away!
I broke up with Craig long ago after an unfortunate incident involving a 12-year-old drug addict selling me his broken iPod...probably for crack money.
I'd rather do eBay. Less personal interaction and they have a guarantee!
I'm a Craig's List and E-Bay virgin; I've never purchased anything from either, although I have visited once or twice.
I'm glad that you'll be able to move on from Craig's temptations :)
Great, fun poem.
Craiglist really is pretty cool! :-)
I have successfully sold Bon Jovi tix on craigslist. :-)
Mandy - Happy New Year! Hope you are doing well. I have survived the holidays and am back in the swing of things. Looking forward to getting caught up on your posts. :-)
I agree with Kaela!
I'm fairly new to the lure of Craig but he is a sweet talker!
I don't shop on CL but I like to lurk around and read all the crazy personal ads. Cuz I'm a perv. Obvs.
