Burning the Competition

Burning the Competition

By Elton Camp

Good business ideas sometime travel fast
A sure-fire way to increase sales at last
Dominoes Pizza showed us the best way
By how they handled Papa John today

In a Florida town the size of Lake City
Too many pizzerias sure seemed a pity
They decided of pizza they’d sell more 
With one less restaurant than before

Though some called the idea so lame,
They sent the competitor up in flame
Other businesses saw what they’d done
Decided it was how customers are won

Lowe’s set the torch to Home Depot
So over there customers couldn’t go
Rite Aid figured that for bad Walgreen
It was time for some flames to be seen

McDonald’s to competing Burger King
Decided that some gasoline they’d fling
Then it was the manager at Wells Fargo
Who decided Regions Bank had to go

The owner of the Usury Payday Loan
Used the trick to get his competitor gone
They all decided there was no better way
To get ahead in the bad economy of today

ONE OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE.  WHICH?
