Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Buy Gum From Wrigley

Billy Wrigley tried selling soap,
Offered baking powder for free,
Then sold baking powder on hope
That sales would spur incentively.
So gave chewing gum on the side,
Gum a winner - lo and behold.
So Wrigley ads went nationwide,
And made a mint on Spearmint sold.
Spearman, with pointed hat and smile,
Spearheaded the vast ad campaign.
Papers and billboards did beguile,
And won chewing public domain.

Spearmint - the flavor lasting - yum!
Wrigley's Spearman sold it - buy gum!
