Dear Advertisements:

You always try and catch my eye,
and the funny thing is you usually do.
I don't mean to sound like an angry guy,
but I just wish you could hear me say "screw you"

While I watch my shows you come with your rambling,
why cant you just let me watch my show unbroken?
When I'm on the web you pop up on the text practically trampling
the words that I was just reading, you must be joking.

Anywhere I go I can't get away,
Watching videos you make me wait,
every day while on the freeway,
the worst part is I sometimes take the bait.

An ad for a burger at my favorite fast food
makes me hungry and I must go there soon.

A poster of a movie that I have never heard of
I go and see it and it is a film I do not love.

    I absolutely love this! Advertising is a personal hate of mine (though I live in the UK and am blessed to have the ad-free BBC to entertain me) but I've never been able to articulate that hate into poetry. You've not just done that, you've done it well, with humour, and in brief. Genuinely remarkable! Many thanks!
