Welcome, one and all, to the Heart of Ohio! 
Where we have, or have had, 
every! 
 conceivable! 
   thing! 
We have been through hell and come out singing! 

Welcome, travelers from distant lands,  
to the bleeding Heart of Ohio! 
Where time spills out backwards 
and unravels in our revolving doors! 
In our vast showroom, 
world-class, unique, and labyrinthine,  
we have seen and will yet see 
every object of human manufacture, 
from the earliest mammoth-bone calendars 
to the exhausted machinations  
of the automated factories 
of this! 
 poisoned!  
   Earth! 
We have your future at the Heart of Ohio! 

Every paper shredded, 
every body burned, 
all these things—and more! 
Half off at the Heart of Ohio!
