There is one born every minute,
Crafty P.T. Barnum said.
I guess that I am one of them,
Since all my smarts have fled.
When I hear "Mail-in Rebate"
Every instinct hollers "BUY" –
Even though my credit cards
Will shrivel up and die.
Think of all that moolah
Sent to me by first-class post;
It's as irresistible
As marmalade and toast!
I send the forms off in the mail
And then begin to wait;
That was seven months ago.
I wonder why they're late?
Stamps are so expensive,
But I better write once more.
They say the check is in the mail.
I've heard that one before.
(I guess the Mail-in Rebate
is a figment of folklore.)
