Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

I Demand Some Tv Commercials

Toy and cereal advertisers must be going zany these days, and I do know.
When I was a child there were twenty-two commercials to every thirty-minute TV show.

Watching the TV commercials was the cost of watching TV, right, Jim?
These days no one watches commercials, choosing to fast forward through them.

How does your child know what doll to buy or what to wear on their knees?
How does your son or granddaughter know which blay-blades he or she needs?

There is a commercial deficit in power, and I, for one, am pretty angry about it.
I don’t know which cereal to eat for Pete’s Sakes, so I guess I’ll throw a giant caniption fit.

Seriously, Moms, Dads, boys, girls, and gentlefolks, let’s march on Washington for something worthwhile.
We’ve marched for a lot less.  Hey! We want MANDATORY TV commercials, and we want
Them in style!

Pick up that banner, woman.
Follow me!
