Pre-priced Package

Theodore Zendarski

See that shiny package, on the upper row

Its base cardboard shelf mate, is not the way to go

There must be embossed letters, of metallic sheen

And it must be shrink wrapped, so it's always clean

Add a few more staples, and a cute twist tie

You know it should be fancy, if I'm going to buy

Prominent the brand name, in colors no less than eight

The text it must be fancy, never print it straight

Don't forget the bar code, or the warranty card

Packed in lots of peanuts, in case if it gets jarred

To deter the wayward, affix a radio tag

Then place your corporate logo, on the check out bag

Beware the competition, don't be such a slouch

For reuse they have added, a see through zipper pouch

Please sprinkle on some glitter, for a final touch

And get a catchy jingle, to make me pay that much

It's a pre-priced package, and we'll buy it in a snap

It's a pre-priced package, and we'll keep coming back

It's a pre-priced package, and we'll buy it in a snap

It's a pre-priced package, and we'll keep coming back
