I’ve been at work all day, wanted to write an article, instead wrote a short poem in about 5 minutes between tasks.
A dozen people,
A hundred ads,
A thousand hours,
A million dollars,
I build ads. I build ads.
Printers for the paper,
Voices for the radio,
Faces for the tele,
Artists, designers,
I build ads. I build ads.
Computers and cars,
Red-headed stars,
a little toy gun,
prizes to be won,
I build ads. I build ads.
The latest hit movie
has more posters
than there are books
in all the ever-world
I build ads. I build ads.
Demagogues and toothpaste
Big trucks and plastic waste
Small phones in new tones
gray pills for old bones.
I build ads. I build ads.
If half so much time
went to goals twice as lofty
we wouldn’t need ads
But instead I build ads. I build ads.
