T.V.
Haiku: by Tom

Television is;
ninety per cent commercials,
ten percent other.
Yes, I watch TV,
the dramas and comedies.
Commercials bore me.
Remember those old Miller beer commercials
'More taste' ... 'Less filling'
The actors in those ads, now grandads
yelling ~ 'More guns ... Less killing'
Black Bears
Black bears can
Be a sight to
Behold.
But they can also
Be a real nuisance, destroying
Bird feeders and
Bee hives. Charmin commercials not withstanding
TV commercials can drive me insane
Over and over, it's the same, same, same
Buy this and you'll be
Handsome or pretty
Might even increase the size of your brain
Commercials can drive us loopy and buggy
Time after time, the same message quite uggy
Should be outlawed
Concept is flawed
SOMEONE please come over I need a huggy
TV commercials interest me now
I can watch the same one nine times in a row
And still not know what they are selling
Is it my age? My eyesight? My hearing?
Or are commercial writers really bad now?
TV commercials can drive me insane
Over and over, it's the same, same, same
Buy this and you'll be
Handsome or pretty
Might even increase the size of your brain

A shape of the void is providing innumerable occupations for characters on the stage to emote through clearest and wet lightning
the distortion of audience perspective sustains briefly
Is everyone seeing the same TV ads during commercials?
It seems suspicious to me.
All we get are old people insurance ads
We have watched it seventeen times in two hours.
Surely the younger people are getting Jello ads right?

No one wants to hear
about some
woman's period
and the comfort
(or size)
of her pad
No one wants to hear
phaquers sing about
diarrhea and indigestion
Especially at dinner time
when
these commercials play
Teams gather to play at the super bowl.
The Champion’s title is each team’s goal.
Quarterbacks lead with their might.
Folks cheer their best team, Go! Fight!
Fans: a couch, commercials, and jellyroll.

Iguana wants to be a player
Geico commercials didn't hire this slayer
Apparently he's too green
To counteract the green screen
So Iguana puts on shades
Then moonwalks and prays
The Gecko breaks a leg on Thursday
And hopefully doesn't regenerate the next day
It never seemed enough when Mom got done
with popping our best snack food; since our goal
was not to miss the shows, how fast we'd run
during the commercials to refill each bowl!
An oldie
For L. Milton Hankins' YOUR BEST FOUR-LINE LIGHT VERSE, NO. 2 Poetry Contest
I knew a family who lived for TV
The only time you were allowed to talk was during commercials.
I did not know the rule at first.
But I soon learned.
The TV was on all day
And the TV was on all night
It kept the family
From communication of every kind.
Wild Kingdom
every Sunday night
Marlin and Jim
traveling throughout the world
catching cats
lassoing llamas
herding hyenas
interspersed with insurance commercials
Mutual of Omaha protecting the wild and you
My favorite:
Snagging snakes
I rooted for the snake!!!
Does anyone have an Easter chick?
We have four, a rooster and three hens
Named Junior, nugget, chirpy and twin
These bitties love to snuggle and watch TV
They have taken me for their mom
The rooster likes to be a daredevil
He will run right up to the dog and tempt his fate
The KFC commercials make them cry!
No more lyrics to this song
No more autographs with this gold pen
No stage or lights for this great thespian actor
No more cameras or pictures for this performer
No motion pictures or TV commercials for this superstar
Now, I am standing here, silent, out in this cold pouring rain
No more crowds and no damn fame
Last of the wine has
been dripped
Knuckles crack
and crack
tongue slaps the lips
The TV screams
as the commercials beg
The children starve,
time never ends
can you
really
trust
your mind? as insanity only conquers
the insane.
Commercials
By: Tom

What you see
Isn’t always what you get.
Appliance or Mattress, or Mobile Device
First, cheapen it up,
go heavy on the advertising.
Then, more importantly,
give it some fancy name.
After inflating the price,
have a 30-40-even 50 percent off sale,
Works every time!
Baa Baa Baa
Vested influencers voiced commercials,
a venture whose view might marshal
public opinion – ads valued as partial.
Virgin winds of the highest velocity
created a vortex, a veiled victory.
The vision vulcanized by verbal vacillation
once the vote drew verification.
Amid the vagaries, a volte-face vaunts itself
beyond the veneer.
Turn off your imagination!
Press the button, choose your station.
TV; fast food for your brain,
numbs your senses, feelings, pain.
Flock of sheep, that’s how you’re treated.
With commercials you are greeted.
What to drink and eat and chew,
monkey see and monkey do.
We know best what’s good for you:
Turn off your imagination!
(I got the idea for this poem from those commercials that were made over 20
years ago. The elderly lady who starred in these commercials died in 1987.)
I ate a hamburger at a restaurant and I asked where's the beef?
The chef got mad and he made me swallow my teeth.
That chef's patience was very thin.
I'll never ask where's the beef again.
Form:
There was Louie the fly
Who’d want to fly by
There was Madge who
Soaked your hands in Palmolive goo
There was the Rolladoor song
That Geelong supporters sing along
Your Mum Mister Sheened your furniture
To a sparkling shine so sure
These commercials I remember on television
That as soon as I think of them they are in my vision.

I have become a TV groupie
I like it better than attending a concert
The volume can be controlled by me
I don’t have to listen to other people
I can wear my pajamas
go to the bathroom whenever I want
do not have to wait in any lines
my snacks are free
best of all, I can watch the toilet paper commercials
I especially like the bears “enjoying the go”.
