Today’s NaPoWriMo prompt is to write advertisement for a poem and/or fictional products:
For writing of an ad,
Don’t put it into prose
All memories are bad
The product no one knows
Unless a rhyme you nurse …
… To advertise a poem
Rehearse it with a verse
By which one comes to know‘m
Brillo Shine works like a dream
At polishing it’s simply great
It leaves the metal with a gleam
By taking off the silver plate
Wishy Wash does washing best
Wishy makes your wash go sploshy;
Test it out against the rest –
Wishy Wash is wishy-washy!
Bossy Boots makes shoes all shine,
With bootlicking incredible:
Your minions do the shining fine,
For it is fully edible.
(As endorsed by Ebagum himself! From politicians, I can make a fortune on this one …)

Mugabe’s shoes would have to be made of dark chocolate before I would lick them. 🙂 I never tried Brillo on my silver plate. I’m so unadventurous. 😦

I’m sure you’d find it would do a perfect job of taking off that silly layer on top!

I thought I really oughta try to write a little ad
but I could not think of one, which is rather sad
I could attempt a Cadburys choc,
but I have a mental block
They say its all to do with age and time
to write things of good sense that rhyme
So I shall leave it up to you
to say goodnight then, is my cue

The choc one is redundant –
My appetite’s abundant! 🙂
