I enjoyed your poem. It made me laugh. I enjoyed the rhyme which is consitent for each line. The syllable count is correct for the contest. I particularly like the presentation. Foe me that yellow background with the brown print is so easy to read and looks so good. That picture is so appropriate.

This 1-6-1, Results! (Long as they self-serve), uses the eight syllables and uni-rhyme lines to remind me of Trump's daughter's comment that if people think that your product does something it doesn't do, and their ignorance profits you, let them think whatever they want.
(This is a gross paraphrase of what she said, though the message is the same. If what they wrongly believe helps you, don't correct them. )

There are still so many "snake oil peddlers out there that the only difference is that they've become so much more sophisticated. The really clever "snake oil peddlers" can stil convince you that you need something that you don't. Nothing has really changed, has it? Good Luck.

Wait!
You mean those false eyelashes that I purchased that promised to give me an alluring set of eyelashes but only gave me an eye infection, should be pitched?
You've got that right!
Love your 1/6/1 offering. In this day and age of quick fixes and gimmicks, your message is "spot on!"

Comment from Henry King
I like the poem. It does tell a story. It does make a reader think. That's what a good poet does. This poem did not meet the requirements of a 1 6 1 poem. The second line has five syllables. Even with poetic license, lies, is one syllable. Change it to lying then add an, s , to make. Then you have six syllables in the second line.

What is really interesting about your post is the top line on the ad: Man proposes but God disposes and then Reverend Shine, snake oil.
A most amusing one sixty one. Your rhymes perfect and the instruction worth a shot.
To order and a wonderful entry to the contest. Best of luck to you. :)
