More Poetry Please

I’ve had a lot of feedback from the Poetry in Ads blog I did last week. This homage to commercial couplets was written by Brain Shelf, a regular blog reader, and it’s a work of GENIUS.
Your children are precious.
You love and adore them.
You imagine their lives,
What the future holds for them.
A surgeon, a lawyer,
World-class ballet dancer.
But you’ll never see it,
Now you’re dead from lung cancer.
Feel free to send me your contributions...
