Entertaining, Michael. I remember the first part of it. The last line feels a bit awkward metrically, but I like the content of the whole as satire.

Congratulations, Michael! I bet your line of sleeveless T-shirts, previously advertised at Frostwriting, is going to sell like hotcakes (or beefcakes?) with this kind of product placement.

I workshopped an earlier version of this some months back. Thanks, all, for the help.
