Announcing Mogo

I’m very pleased to introduce to you
something once a toy made completely new.

All you need are two good legs and balance! But it’s not a bike.
It’s as healthy as biking, so cyclists, take a hike!

It’s much more fun for everyone to JUMP their way
to where they want to get to every day.

The bottom part of it, once made of rubber,
used to wear down fast and made a few kids blubber.

For when the steel part poked itself on through,
annoying clatter hitting pavement would ensue.

That old-fashioned part that gave bounce for you
is completely remodeled. Now metal won’t poke through!

And better yet, it’s not rubber-made at all!
You now can jump to anywhere on anything, and you won’t fall.

This awesome patented invention will never get stuck
in dirt, grass or gravel, nor in mud and muck.

With longer and higher jumps than you ever had before,
the distance you can jump has increased twenty times more.

No one else but us has this technology.
Come and take a test-jump. You will see. . . 

why we call our product the Quick MOGO stick.
POGO redesigned, will make you jump for joy, and that is no schtick!

I had guessed trampoline when first you asked me to guess. You are a compelling and lively salesperson! I could never get my initial balance to get started on a pogo stick, but I'd probably buy one because your pitch is so charming. I enjoyed this. Love ... CayCay
