So here's how you can get it.

My company sells cognac and I have an idea of promoting it using a small poem.

What you need to do is to write a small poem (or is that called rhyme?) that consists of two quatrains, the last one ending with words "Our Premium X.O."

Please don't send me PMs with questions about it, ask everything on the board. The rhymes should be written on the forum too.

Something like:

bla bla bla
bla bla bla
bla bla bla
bla bla bla

bla bla bla
bla bla bla
bla bla bla
Our Premium X.O.

The image of the cognac is serious but not boring and so should be the rhyme.

You have exactly one month until the 1st of May when jury will choose the best one.

You can post poems how many times you want.

The winner will become an owner of a SuperMacro in perfect condition with these options:

1) Four feature switches for impedance (0/75 ohm), amplification gain (5/15 dB), bass boost (0/5dB) and Crossfeed (off/on)
2) OPA637
3) 2x BUF634 buffers (instead of 1x) soldered on board
4) Clear anodized aluminum case (instead of black)
5) Several opamps for opamp rolling

It can be upgraded to the current version for 50$.

It's late here and I'm going to bed, hope to see first poems tomorrow

Anyone from any part of the world can participate.

The winner's rhyme will most likely be written on cognac's web site.

I can't tell the name of that cognac now, but it's not well-known because it's a new one.

Good luck!

Why waiting for a late down
while you can eat the smack

Why feeling there's no chance

and you still sitting, looking back
...?

Take the plunge deep low
get a breath ..'fullfill your chest..

try the fragrance of the best

Our Premium X.O.

Twice distilled, a copper hue
A cognac's wit unfold
Scented smooth, the past renew
Our vintage Extra Old.

A blended brandy spun Baroque
The tenor of Bordeaux
Aged complexity in oak
Our Premium X.O.

Ok, so it's not "Tyger! Tyger! burning bright" but there you go!

Roses are Red, Violets are blue...

If you wanna get layed, drink some of this stuff.

In a world of haze
where everything's a craze.
Do you want to fade?
Like needles in hay?

In a world of haze
where everything's a craze.
You deserve to be different
Our Premium X.O.

Here's what I've got so far:

Alluring, it draws you in with hues that makes you blush.
inspired, all your senses tingle with delight.
Inching forward, its fragrance carries you weightlessly,
where man is elevated beyond the joy of perfect dreams.


Gosh, I'm so embarrassed that mine is the only halfway serious entry, and when I say halfway, I mean I'm tired and can do much better.
