Example Poem:

CYA Labels (Indonesian Sonnet)

"You could be a winner", the package said,
"No purchase necessary."  Ain't that great?!
"Details inside".  These thoughts went thru my head…
I'll grab a few; for free there's no debate.

A chainsaw file in box with text that pled,
"Don't use while saw is running."  Got that mate?
A mattress label warns, implying dread,
You should not swallow! (Something sure to sate.)

A box of matches warns, (Just guess ahead),
"Contents may catch fire." Unexpected trait?
These notes don't help and may confuse instead,
but all do serve, more humor to create.

"Shake well and buy often" can't be misread.
Just consume more so product sales inflate.
