You know you want it!
We have exactly one Mad Men 2010 calendar to give away to a lucky and talented Basketcase.
RULES: Post a rhyming couplet about Mad Men, or any Mad Men character, in comments. Our favorite entry wins the calendar. In case of a tie (or an unsolvable argument between the Lipp Sisters) we will pick the winner at random.
ELIGIBILITY: We will ship the prize within the continental U.S. only, sorry. You can try as many rhymes as you like, but if we pick at random, it will be one entry per person.
DEADLINE: New Year’s Day. January 10, 2010,

Joan and Peggy want success, both have magic coins
Peggy's coin is her quick brain; Joanie's coin, her loins
I am amazed at la peregrina's entries! My god, the pathos she can get in two lines. She should write for the dang show!
Here's my entry–using the KISS (Keep it Simple) formula:
I really enjoy Basket of Kisses–
Watching Mad Men's what bliss is!
Don Draper, Don Draper, he's not one to linger,
he brings a new meaning to the phrase 'under his finger'

For your consideration . . .
Oh Don Draper, fractured man, the truth hides behind those eyes
The pain, the grief, the ache for love – success does so belie
And something a little lighter . . .
Draper: ad man, smoker, drinker, a god between the sheets
Hidden past revealed at last, bye Betts, hello SCDP
Rules stretched, rules changed, rules broken, oh my!
Can’t write a rhyming couplet? That is where the truth lies.

TJ- A thing like that! I don't think this is true but I do appreciate your enthusiasm.
