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!
