Why Is It?

Here is a little gem I found many years ago and recently rediscovered in my little black book.

It brings a smile every time I read and conveys a message to be heeded,  so enjoy
 
 
Why Is It? (also known as The Advertising Poem)

A man wakes up after sleeping

 
under an advertised blanket,

 
on an advertised mattress,

 
pulls off advertised pyjamas,

 
bathes in an advertised shower,

 
shaves with an advertised razor,

 
brushes his teeth with advertised toothpaste,

 
washes with advertised soap,

 
puts on advertised clothes,

 
drinks a cup of advertised coffee,

 
drives to work in an advertised car,

 
 
 
and then, refuses to advertise,

 
believing it doesn’t pay.

 
Later when business is poor,

 
he advertises it for sale.

 
Why is it?

For a business not to advertise is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but no one else does. -  Stuart H. Britt, US advertising consultant
