Sonnet: My Life as a Managed Desire
Adsense Makes the Heart Glow Fonder
by John Kendall Hawkins
.
My life as an ad, a jingo unchained
new, improved, and stains removed with wonder
teleprompter thinking, I am unbrained
unofficially a head of dunder
the sweeps are over and the polls are in
by tomorrow I'll know what I believe
taxpaying the wages of sin
a bonafide criminally naïf
but I'll never give in to thinking groupon
buying is a form of democracy
sales popping up, stove moms crying, "Soupçon!"
thinking, is that a secret sauce I see?
O it's so easy when you use less toil
to make hot love to a life on the boil
