I'm being paid $25 and was told not to tamper with word choice, which is fine by me because that would make the job impossible. The sentence structure is contorted to make end words rhyme, but the meter / cadence is entirely wrong for that kind of poetry. :shrug:

A Very Good Magazine

The Ozarks Maturity is a very
Interesting magazine to read,
For in it there is so much valuable
Information you need,
Including dates and places of coming events
And even household and cooking hints.
There is enjoyment to be found on
The puzzle page.
There is something in it for every age.
