False Advertising

They advertised this job would be fun.
We'd feel satisfaction when day's done.
They didn't mention sore feet
Or our desire to retreat
Or that we'd never again see  sun.

Surprise -- Not Quite As Advertised

For Mayor, Chicago voted for a former teacher
       What'd they get ~ a revival preacher

     As advertised Brandon Johnson's socialistic
       Turns out, he's also spiritualistic

Hanks Celebration of Life

Hank’s celebration of life
advertised by kids and wife
hootenanny tonight
flyer says it is out of sight

it was a blast and went until two
refusing to leave were twenty-two
jokes, laughter, stories and such
Hank would have loved this very much!

Life Today

Even today life, bio genetics means
Marketing of juice
Packed in an of envelope love.
Here democracy, independence means
Oratory of vote demon
Electing the greatest poison
Here sky rneans boundary of land
Trembling of a flag.
Here peace and equality means
Procreation of advertised power.

The Foibles

Are chemical apparatus
where dangerous experiments are done

Are wine-glasses
for leisure bashes in the evenings

Are tea-cups
to relax muscles with hot sugared  water

Are good  ivory beds
to keep calm the amorous overweight body

Are deception bill-boards
where lies are written, formally advertised

realizing she was pretty

The silk sarong arrived more gorgeous than advertised.
Emerald green with gold stitching; Annabeth was thrilled.
As she wrapped herself, she caught her reflection in the mirror.
She gasped. I am pretty! She looked away quickly, feeling vain.
Her husband was watching, admiring his beautiful wife.
Not realizing her awakening.

Levi Jeans

God do I need a man?
I know I need a pair of pants
Levi Jeans
Like the one advertised
on Alicia Keys.
Pants that fit me right
Close to my skin
But not too tight.
Let me move about 
Day and night
Blue black
and out of sight.
But do I need a man?
Do I need a man?
No!
Not if I have a pair of pants
Levi Jeans
Like the one advertised
on Alicia Keys...

Aging Barbie

Barbie parades in revealing garb
Flirting and conversing
With beckoning eyes,
Herself a laugh
From the past.
Lined face and dyed hair
As she attempts to be
The symbol of youth
That was advertised
And photographed
In knee high boots
And satin hot pants;
Her shiny-capped teeth
Are revealed by the smile not
Reaching her eyes
And facelifts that
Don't hide her age.

If I Was Rich As a Rothschild

If I was a rich as a 
Rothschild 
  then I would give up my job 
as a college assistant 
   and live in a great manor 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild 
I would buy 
a fantastic stereo 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild 
   I would buy the expensive volumes I see 
  advertised in the New York Times book review section 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild
    Wow! Wow! Wow!

I thought about these moments of suspension
when everything ends or has a break
the day gives up hurting and the night comes
the ones that are birds
give up their place to the drunks
and to those who are dogs
now there's space in the alleys
for the clocks to rest like gods
every body seeks a mattress and an illusion
after swallowing the carbs
that they advertised on television

Kaki

The vendor advertised his wares
Eliciting assorted stares.
For just six bucks (a price quite wacky),
You could buy some pants – in kaki!

English likely’s not his tongue
And yet, before that sign was hung,
You’d think he wouldn’t be confused
On how to spell the word he used.

My husband shrugged and disagreed;
That “kaki” sign was all he’d need
For none would understand it better
If it had that missing letter.

Ran it up the flagpole

               ‘Intimate gathering’
                  advertised
               Curiosity piqued...

                  poked my head in
               ~ cozy canoodling  



               __________________
               'Ran it up the flagpole'
               (to see if it would fly)
               was an overused ploy
               from the advertising 
               world of the 1950's 
               and 60's.

Commercial Time

Underwear to hold your leaks,
Meds with crazy names -
These are products touted
As I watch the Aussie games.

Homeowners’ insurance,
Make-up, cool expensive cars 
Advertised between the sets
Of vaccinated stars.

Scenes of lovely Melbourne
By commercial crews they’ve hired
Hoping that some tourists 
Will be well-enough inspired.

Since I can’t fast-forward,
Every ad I’m forced to see,
Although the target audience
Is certainly not me.

Be Lucky

In every single card she sent,
My husband’s mom advised,
“Be lucky!” but her message
Wasn’t quite as advertised.

For luck is nothing we can plan;
It finds us or it doesn’t.
When we look back, we clearly see
Our fortune was or wasn’t.

So when I’d notice her command,
Before she’d signed her name,
It made me wonder where the luck was
I was meant to claim.

In life, you’ve got to have some grit
Or fortitude or pluck;
The one thing you can never count on
Is elusive luck.

Common Interests

The obsessive narcissistic lover of hers
climbed the hill of challenged.
Beating his head against a brick wall
for his pure love was damaged.

Whilst meeting they seemed to get along,
with common interests per usual.
Neither proudly advertised;
for this was unconventional.

Upon leaving he stirs and slurs,
left alone she questions again.
Uttering muttering "women",
naming blaming "men".

Pick up their phones to call now enraged,
only to find each other engaged.

Mirage

It's all make believe, isn't it?, 
                      Marylin Monroe


Foundation smeared grid of Facebook likes 
saccharine coated lies, pretending the truth.
Advertised love, behind every pretty picture
makes them believe, the wizard and his spell
Blurry eyes enticed, in aureole golden water
an allure of distance, shimmering a mirage.
Tears smear down...perhaps only pain is real

The Three Ring Sign

The three rings were the trademark of a popular beer. Purity, body, and flavor, are what we had here. The beer and the symbol were products of yesteryear. If you tuned in to the broadcast of a Yankees game, the late Mel Allen often mentioned the beer's name. This was a brew some other famous men would extol. Broderick Crawford advertised it on "Highway Patrol". Nobody will be able to find this brand today. It is a thing of the past, and has gone away.

Friend

Friend

I have a friend I haven’t seen for ages
We met so long ago
Companies advertised in the yellow pages
Cars were ninety horsepower
And London’s tallest 
was the Post office tower.
I sent him a text, to congrats his team
He said he’d call, have a chat
We haven’t spoken yet, so I guess that’s that.
But I know when we catch up
He’ll burst my sides
We’ll feed of each other
Till we can’t breathe
I love him. My mate from the past.
See you soon!

Heckboy

Censorship’s alive and well
In Dickson, Tennessee,
Whose Roxy Theater advertised
Upon its proud marquee:

“Heckboy,” playing there beside
Both “Dumbo” and “Shazam.”
Of course, there’s no such movie
And that title is a sham.

The owner thinks profanity
Should not be on the sign,
So “Hellboy” was a name that she
Decided to refine.

To me, there’s not much difference
In those words; they’re neck and neck,
But such censorship implies this country’s
On its way to Heck.
