THE T.V. ADS

If you want to hear or see loads and loads of lies,

Watch T.V. *bubbahmeises when they advertise.

See advertisers get away with falsehood and bluffing,

Legally characterized not as lies, but as gentle puffing,

Permitting them to push their deceptions ahead and forward,

Conning the public to buy what they sell as its own just reward.

These are hustles that are repeated over and over again to the television public

Not erasable, although changeable by a television channel-changer’s single click.

These colossal plethora of ads are designed to hound the viewer to buy the sellers’ goods,

Using paid celebrities, phony professionals, exaggerated claims, and many like falsehoods.

Protection from being conned by the T.V. ads that are selling a “there” that is not there

Is to close your mind to them, switch channels and obey the old adage of buyer beware.
