Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Commercials

I saw a great commercial
But forgot what it was for.
I suppose it was a failure
On the advertising score.

For a catchy little lyric
Or a scene to make you cry
Should remind you of the product
That it’s hoping you will buy.

Certain ads are quite obnoxious,
With a jingle that you dread,
But in many cases they’re the ones
That stick inside your head.

To the advertising genius
Who outdid all other bids,
I commend you for the awful
1-800-Kars for Kids!*

*really 1-877-Kars for Kids
(altered for poetic purity!)

April Gabriella July 14, 2013 at 11:03 PM Ugh. Commercials have no bearing on real life. I love the poem though. :)
