Pronunciation: oyl of hoo ray

Sentence: Madge had wanted her young skin to stay, But, alas, she showed more lines and spots each day, When searching for her fountain of youth, She knew she had found the truth, The magic jar called Oilofhurray! When she first tried it on her nightly routine, She was delighted to see a youthful sheen, Each day she used it, she looked not as older, Her attitude and confidence grew more bolder, At this rate she'd soon be Sweet Sixteen! For revisited youth one must pay, To look that young come what may, Her face yes, it grew more juvenile, While the rest of her body grew more senile, Soon Madge looked like the Portrait of Dorian Gray!

Etymology: Oil of Olay (commercial anti-wrinkle product, designed for "mature" skin, to reduce signs of aging like, spots, wrinkles, dark circles, exfoliates, increases glow and gives a youthful look, at least that's what they told me when I bought it! ) & Hooray (a victory cheer) & Hurry (as in fix it fast!)

Pronunciation: re joo ven no shuns

Sentence: Despite, faithfully using the dreamcreams and miracalotions, after age sixty, seeing my aging face in a mirror, causes me to wrinkcoil away from the image. They do not work. But hope springs eternal, so we women never give up on our silly rejuvenotions!

Etymology: REJUVENATIONS by POTIONS and LOTIONS are unrealistic NOTIONS = REJUVENOTIONS. The last two syllables in the pronunciation could be part of the etymology as well ... for we do it in hopes of 'NO SHUNS'.
