Mirror, mirror in my hand
Who’s the oiliest in the land?
Behold the clever ageing miss
Who defeats psoriasis
With a secret stain-free potion
Which demands complete devotion
You will follow the scary gal
Sir Oil of Canada has in thrall,
Queen of problematic skin
With pointy nails and troubling grin
Her magic compact poised to rage
If you should merely turn the page
So buy a bottle, maybe two -
Her booklet tells you what to do!
Self-marinate for fourteen days
This is the Secret that repays
All who pay homage to Siroil
And with its unctuous virtues toil:
The Queen with profits will be fed
And you can toboggan in your bed.
Does a bottle of red wine vinegar come with it?
Lovely bit of poetry there LOL
I don’t know, I kind of have a hard time believing it won’t stain sheets or clothing. I mean, hello? It’s OIL.
Very nice poem. Very slick rhyming scheme.
Shay – That’s such a nice idea, then you could have salad.Broadway Matron – Thank you, it was an inspiring little ad!
Tori – Me too…You just know it’s going to ruin the sheets…Da Old Man – Thank you! I used to write this sort of thing to entertain people in college (without the ads of course) and it is still amusing in my middle ages. To me, anyway! 
Love it.
I love your humorous poem. It really kind of inspires me to not buy Siroil.
A clever miss I’m sure she isAt turn of phrase she is a whizFrom ads of ages past she plundersTo mine the copy full of blundersAnd gives us all a hearty chuckleBrighter than your own belt buckle.Oh, well, I enjoy your sparkling wit.Ron
Aaagghh! Now I have Lulu in my head singing To Siroil With Love.Please make it stop!
eeewww I wonder if it smells like gravy like most products like this do, I swear I bought a bottle of tanning lotion a few years back and I smelled like a roast out of the oven eewww
Mary – Thank you! I scanned this ad awhile ago but it really stuck in my head. ceemee – Oh my goodness!
Ron – That was a charming verse, and I am honored!Bill – Oh, that would have been the perfect title!Amy – I don’t know, but I’ll bet it wasn’t very nice, anyway…
