Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Tv Adverts

Is it just me

Or do you as well

Watch the commercials on T.V

And wonder exactly what on earth
it is they are actually trying to sell

Or are you like me somehow think
we have slipped into some kind of 
alternate universe

Because I am sure I just seen the new
Lottery advert

And it was about a village green cricket
match with the team dressed in traditional
Whites

Then the Presenter comes on ready to
bat kitted out from top to toe in Red , 

Helmet , Bat , Pads , Glove's the full monty

Now as tenuous links and connections go
this is the best and only idea I could come
up with

Maybe at the initial meeting to thrash
out some concepts and ideas

The leader of the brain's trust was swinging
a bat around and accidentally hit everyone
in the head including himself

Causing mass amnesia and concussion

And when they all eventually came too
they forgot what product they were 
supposed to be selling in the 1st place

And somehow thought it was a brilliant
fantastical idea
