A silly poem about cost saving adverts

Tempting Special Offers

It started with the beans, buy one get one free.
And next I was enticéd by the means
Of being a friendly Eco man to save a tree.
So where does it go from here
Do I show no fear with the beer
By buying a four pack now for kicks
And forever wreck my pack of six?
Should I get one holiday or save by
Getting two and wave goodbye
To cheap days out with you?
They send me offers through the Radio Times
Of Safari suits and clothes for foreign climes
And for just ninety nine pounds 99 I do believe
I could an extra pair of handmade leather shoes receive!
I must subscribe, I must subscribe,
Pay homage to the cost effective bribe.
Buy one planet, get one free,
Buy the Universe for you and me.
Why stop here? Go all the way!
Buy Middle Earth and Heaven and Hell
The sale it endeth here today!
