 In Praise of Consumption

Come listen to our sales pitch
It's made with you in mind
Watch all our pretty pictures
They flicker there on line        
Read all our clever posters
They're scattered in the mallways
See all our flashy billboards
That pass along the highways
Hear all the siren songs
That sing across the skyways
Yes, we’re coming straight to you 
 From your cell phones too!
 
Now!   See what you don't have?
It’s right there on TV
A pretty thing, a shiny thing
A just can't do without thing
Exactly what you need
This perfect, just so thing
It's something that you've earned   
That you really do deserve
It's guaranteed to please
And will make your life complete!
 
New toys will make you happy 
You know that it’s quite true
Come try them now, come buy them now
That midnight sale is on right now
Come buy just one or two or maybe just a few
And then you’ll find another and another one too!

Oh!  You really are in luck
Just look at what's on sale
It comes in red or blue and a dozen other hues
There's sizes here for everyone
Large, medium and small and extra large ones too!

Do you have a life?  Buy a reason now to live
Do you have a soul?  Here's its purpose sure to give

Oh joy!  Just imagine all those discounts!

 And look right here on line 
 Be the first to buy 
 Own an FDA approved 3D flat screen, wi fi
 Wide track, fuel injected
 Five bath, slim line, smells fine, top of the line
 Fully equipped, live in, country style
 Sports series, super-sized
 Battery powered
                                   KAZOO!
 And it's even got a Hemi too
Imagine all those rebates!
 
Now, exercise that plastic power
Add all those special coupons 
That you’ve searched and found on Groupon
Use your super card
Just press those magic buttons 
And poof!  It's yours!   It all belongs to you!
  
Oh!   Don't consider what’s to come
Or what the world may be
No need to see the future nor quantify the sum
Just think of now and all the shopping fun

It’s all right here. . .
Listen to our sales song
Buy it now before it's gone!
