Prizes

The other day I got a flyer Because I am a frequent flier And, as you have already guessed It said I was an 'honoured guest' In fact, the 'most important one' And a 'special prize' I had won I gasped out loud, my breath did bate And of course, I took the bait Must be a diamond! (at least a carat) So l ate the dangled carrot Newsletters and ads I signed up for Promotional emails, at least four Well! I laughed myself completely hoarse It seems I'd won a bloody horse! I fell down in shock upon my humerus The situation no longer humorous My heart sank low weighed down like lead... It seems it's up the creek I've been led

Julie, I enjoyed reading this very much. A homophonic tail (oops, tale) of a common modern plight. Congrats on your win ~ John
