There will now be a short Intermission.
Our Sales Staff will be in all parts of my Webpage selling: Choc- Ices , Soft drinks and Pop Corn.
This being the tale of a man named Crier,
Who has the High Reputation of a Habitual Liar.
The things that he's claimed to have done in the past:
Would leave you quite Flummoxed; and a little aghast.
He's descended he swears from 'Good Queen Bess':
But the Virginal Queen 'Repelled Boarders' at best.
And to have Sailed around the World;
Twice up to date:
But was 'Blowing his lunch' on the town's boating lake.
Once Dated an Actress from Hollywood he said:
But it's 'Am Dram' Betty that's sharing his bed.
A Contender he Brags in the Pugilist game:
But was 'Felled' by a Drunk,
So it adds to his shame.
And the London Marathon he moved in quick time:
But an Ambulance is fast when a life's on the line.
Another Fib, and occasional boast,
How he once fought a Shark on the Florida Coast.
But amusingly enough by all reports:
It was a Surfboard Fin;
And he Fouled his Shorts.
So this is Sebastian, Machiavellian to a fault;
Take whatever he says with a Shovel of Salt.
So; all things considered you'll find unsurprising;
He has a safe regular job -
In Advertising.

Story tellers are entertaining and sometimes annoying. A fun read.

Glad you liked it. Kevin.
Ads are the best when entertaining and become part of the culture. Alas there aren't enough of them. Your Sebastian Crier has found his niche and I look forward to being uproariously entertained when next I settle down in front of the box. In the interim, your post will tide me over.
