A Satire On Commercials
A Satire on Commercials
I Don’t Need It
But Gimme Two
Written: by Miracle Man

Commercials are filled with lots of untruths and ploys,
Using scantily dressed women oozing charm and poise;
Each with the thought of enticing me to spend money,
Using smoke and mirrors and often insultingly funny;
Commercials are tailored to my individual spending habits,
And each time I Inquire, my emails multiply like rabbits.
Sometimes the pitch man is one, handsome or famous,
Buying on name recognition would make me an ignoramus.
But behind each infomercial lies a free marketer’s creed,
To convince me to purchase what I don’t really need.
