Commercial Time
Underwear to hold your leaks,
Meds with crazy names -
These are products touted
As I watch the Aussie games.
Homeowners’ insurance,
Make-up, cool expensive cars
Advertised between the sets
Of vaccinated stars.
Scenes of lovely Melbourne
By commercial crews they’ve hired
Hoping that some tourists
Will be well-enough inspired.
Since I can’t fast-forward,
Every ad I’m forced to see,
Although the target audience
Is certainly not me.
