Carnation Milk
A little lady from North Carolina had worked in and around family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk. She endured hours of hard work and little compensation. Then one day in the 1940’s or 50’s, when canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores, she read anadvertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The only listed requirement was that the rhyme began with “Carnation Milk is best of all….”
The lady said to herself; “I know all about milk and dairy farms. I can win this!!!!”
So, she sent in her entry and about a week later, a black limo drove up in front of her house. A man dressed in a suit got out and said; “Carnation loved your entry so much, we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not be able to use it!”
Her submission is below:
Carnation milk is best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul.
No buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch
