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.

His offer of friendship and close affinity derided,
Insultingly disowned as a kin by the bat, the rat said:
"Snobbish acrobat, you're so rude,
unschooled in civility;
With nocturnal queers like you I hate
to have affinity;
Stinking, skin-winged flapper of the night,
your boasts are many;
But look at you, swinging feet up, head down,
stupidly funny;
One day, like an umbrella needing repair,
you'll flip-flop down;
And be with us you so despise whose paws
touch the earthy ground !"
Indeed, one must always be tentative in choosing a relative;
For not all critters of the same fur huddle together, Sir !
