Special Announcement To the Market –
A completely fresh commodity.
We present to all in need of same:
Packaged, on hire at reasonable rates
To football games; Elections large and small,
Five year recurring but three year specials too.
Also marriages, other minor events.
Formulated and packaged with much care -
Our product, no not in a bottle: Goodwill.

Goodwill is free to us all Dave and I hope to give it to all around.
Andy
I'm sure you do, Andy - the evidence is everywhere on these pages. All due credit to you.
A wonderful go at brightening the day and that alone is commendable. I'm putting my cynicism aside my friend and giving you credit for some creativity here as well as the positivity. Thanks for a little sunshine on a Sunday
That's a killer response, Soren - I don't know what to write...😜
And yet a message worth reading and pondering upon 👌
I'm glad you got something out of it, Nafisa.
Wonderful! That's what counts: little acts of kindness...
...In big quantities...
Thanks for the read, Norman.
Excellent work. Sharp, ironic, and almost theatrical—this reads like a dark marketplace pitch for something nobody can actually afford but everyone is already trading.
The grit is in the satire: goodwill turned into a commodity, packaged and leased back to the world that lost it.
I'll send you a free special bonus pack after that👍
Dave, there’s a real clever bite to this…had me smiling, thinking twice...then smiling again. That final turn into goodwill being the “product” pulls the whole thing together in a way that sticks. Smart and clean. Messy looks good on you, Dave! 🤣 Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Cheers, Tristan.
I think Goodwill went out with Betamax Videos.
But we live in hope.
An enjoyable Poem.
Woz it a movie?
Good Will Hunting was a Film . Yes.
There is some Goodwill in the World ; but the Media concentrate on the Bad things mainly.
Got that right - even if it is spread rather thin at times...
You old dog you .. I just knew you had it in you .. 💛⭐⭐⭐😎👍
I try - not sure if it's a bark or a howl....but in the kind of society we live in advertising is all one has...
