Here's the winning poem:

'Twas the night before the new promo

and I could hardly wait

to rush out to Yogurtland

and anxiously find out my fate.

New flavors and special toppings

all waiting just for me;

which one would be my favorite?

The time was getting close to see.

My heart danced with glee

as I skipped into the store;

this is what I live for after all,

special promos...give me more!

With eyes wide and sample cup in hand

I certainly wasted no time;

after all there was something tasty

and it was soon to be mine.

Once the sampling was complete,

my mind was made up;

I knew exactly which temptations

I wanted to have in my cup.

Some cookie dough and Reese's

along with a few chocolate chips

this was sure to be pleasant

once it finally hit my lips.

And of course one last thing

I couldn't leave out... lots of fluffy whipped cream;

it's something I never go without!

The final order of business

now that the creation was complete,

was to pull out my Real Rewards card

and happily pay for my treat.

The moment was finally here

with one more special surprise;

a new collectible spoon

presented to me before my very eyes!

Like a child at Christmas

this had been the best day;

me and my beloved fro-yo... Hooray! Hooray!
