Commercialism

Commercialism is rife I see,
With advertising on TV,
Selling to mother and selling to brother,
Selling to aunt who afford she can’t,
To buy the things they try to hide,
In product placements nationwide.
But we are savvy and they don’t learn,
The things they push, we start to spurn.
Instead of coke I’d drink linseed oil,
Just in order to ensure I spoil,
Their demographic As, Bs and Cs
And the theories of whom they please.
When with smiles and fake ado
They try to sell a pile of poo
At half the price and twice it’s worth
and double height and half the girth
Of any other that’s being sold
Or so was the result of the audience polled*
*(4 out of 12 users said their aunts preferred it)
