Today is a very special day. It is the birthday of Offer "Vince" Shlomi, Mr. ShamWow. In honor of his birthday, I am participating in the Humor Bloggers' ShamWow Carnival and have written a poem to commemorate this momentous occasion. Happy birthday to Vince, happy birthday to Vince......
Ode To Vince, The Poem
by The Screaming Me-Me!!!
Everyone everywhere knows of Vince
He’s the one that tries to convince
Each and every household with TVs
That we really must have one of these!
It’s not a towel or a rag you see
It’s a magical cloth from Germany
Soaking up its weight in cola and wine
Look how that counter top begins to shine!
Now, Vince isn’t really much of a looker
He wanted a woman, so he bought a hooker
She bit his tongue, oh what a bloody mess
There was blood, even on the hooker’s dress!
Now Vince sits, I hear he’s doing time
His once golden voice isn’t worth a dime
Don’t dare ask me where, when or how
Who will now sell the magical ShamWow?

What a great poem.
ReplyDeleteYou should get that published. Or maybe the poem could go on that wrapper that goes around the ShamWow. Isn't that a great idea?? You're welcome.
ReplyDelete@ Da Old Man - Thank you! *MMM bows*
ReplyDelete@ Mary@Holy Mackerel - Brilliant, I give to permission to act as my agent!
Brilliant. Bloody brilliant (sorry, Vince).
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteHere's a little haiku to go with it.
No more ShamWow now
What has Vince left in his life?
Hookers, and jail.
LOL, now that is freakin' funny...love it!
ReplyDelete@ Chris - Glad you enjoyed my tribute!
ReplyDelete@ freetheunicorns - LOL! Thanks for the haiku, poor Vince.
@ misstfied - It's hilarious when art imitates life.
You have brought honor to not only Vince's birthday, but all of Germany with that poem.
ReplyDeleteNice job MeMe! I lurve it. I try to wax poetic as often as I can.
ReplyDeleteHa!
That poem brought tears to my eyes. If only I had a ShamWow to dry my tears!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "convince". That was a good chuckle...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great poem. :)
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteI may cry
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if he used the ShamWow to soak up the blood from his tongue.
ReplyDeleteAnd another obnoxious a-hole bites the dust.
ReplyDeleteThat poem is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you got skills!
Dr. Suess ain't got nothin' on you.
