[hometext] => This is a true story.
[bodytext] => The company sold scouring powder; They packaged in sprinkle-top cans; Although it cleaned sinks; In just twenty winks; Sales werent as brisk as they planned. One day the board got a letter; That claimed they could triple their sales; And 15 grand might; Double sales overnight; In advance, if you please, send by mail. So the board took a chance; Sent him cash in advance; And tickets to take the next flight. At only sixteen, he arrived on the scene; But their laughter soon turned to delight. The high schooler stood in the board room; Holding their check in his hand; Ill solve your disaster; Youll sell cleanser faster; If you make one small change to the can! Your cleaners not measured, its shaken; A little comes out -- or a lot; Youll sell three times more; The faster it pours; So they put five more holes in the top!
