Drink and Infomercials

A Poem by George David Hope

DRINK AND INFORMERCIALS

I got home in the early hours

From a night out on the town

Put on my fluffy slippers

And sequined dressing gown

I was about to go to bed

My head was slightly spinning

But found myself switching on the box

Then I started grinning

At those infomercials

With stuff you'd never buy

Like slippers for your goldfish

I just sat thinking why

But then I got to thinking

What if I had a fishy in a tank

And his claws became too long

If I bought this, me he'd surely thank

So I quickly picked up the phone

Punched in the numbers on the screen

In fact I thought I'd get two

In case he thought that I was mean

Then I saw another ad

Some shoes with two left feet

Handy for those who cannot dance

This deal it can't be beat

Things to remove body hair

Things to get you fit

I couldn't control myself

My bank balance took a hit

All night long I ordered stuff

My card it took a bashing

But deep down I had a feeling

All this stuff I'd soon be trashing

Oh, George, you gave me a belly laugh with this poem. Loved it. Cheers for sharing your insight and witty humour with us all. And its true those info commercials are a blast. and people are drawn to buy some right crap off them. Particularly when they drunk.
