Notes About The Poem

Casarah Nance - For Bribe Me Contest

Clean your house from top to bottom – any other chores you want me to do?
A cup of steaming coffee is ready – I know you just love your brew
So you want me to get the shopping – I’ll have it right on cue
Anything special you require, I’ll pay and have it delivered to you
Run your bath – no problem, I’ll put some bubbles in it too
And my babysitting service is free – no dollar spends are due
Have a wonderful meal out with Tom, a treat for you is overdue

No problem what time you return  – I’ll bid you both adieu
Abby will be fine, I’ve written a story for her about a kangaroo
Now remember I’ve paid for the taxi and your meal -  it's cordon blue
Contest – what contest!  As if I’m trying to influence you ...
Even a honourable mention will do!

10~11~15
You want it bad – then bribe me contest
Sponsor Casarah Nance
