Bonus Time

My moisturizer’s from Clinique. When I am running low, I wait until it’s bonus time And to the store I go. For give-aways are advertised – With purchases, of course; You have to spend a set amount, Which all the clerks enforce. So 27 was the price You’d need to qualify For the make-up bag of goodies That Clinique would then supply. I plucked my lotion from the shelf But I was in a fix Because – you guessed it – on the box The price was 26! I chuckled at how devious This tactic seemed to be For lots of other customers, Like me, want something free. Without much hesitation, though, I knew what I would do. To get the bonus I deserved, I splurged and paid for two!
