Margarine Replaces Butter In the Sixties

Bluebonnet Margarine
Blonde girl with pigtails
In a blue checked gingham blouse
And a white pinafore

Showing us how GREAT 
It tastes.
And it does spread easier
Than butter.
For Sure!

We are innocent
Easily led.
Still believing in people’s good.
We switch over easily.
Finally forgetting 
What real butter used to taste like.

I had some the other day.
Wow!
Suddenly reawakened 
And refreshed!
Despising the pigtail girl.

Uh-oh.
I just looked up the ad.
It was the Sunbeam Bread girl.
Scratch this one.
