Write a Haiku, Win a Wallet

Okay, so it doesn’t have to be a Haiku, but I do have a wallet to give away.

It’s a black, bi-fold wallet made from used car/truck tires, it’s described as men’s though I think it could suit anyone of any gender, and it’s from Global Exchange Fair Trade. I mentioned them after I went to the Green Festival a few weeks ago – go check them out. They’re a great organization. And just to clarify, Global Exchange isn’t sponsoring this; this is all Green In Oak Park.

This is open to international readers as well, though of course it will take longer to arrive if you aren’t in the United States.

The goods:

It’s got very small imperfections on its surface, as you might expect from a recycled item, but it’s sturdy and will certainly hold up in a rainstorm. It also has one compartment for dollar bills.

So convince me in the comments that you are the best possible wallet parent and that this wallet should go to you. Write a Haiku, tell me a sad story about what happened to your last wallet and how much you miss it, tell me how much you love the idea of recycling inner tubes, or perhaps tell me how you lost your last wallet because you needed it and some WD-40 to MacGuyver your way out of a sticky situation. Or simply give me the straightforward reasons why you should have this. It’s up to you.

I look forward to seeing what you write.
