Obnoxious interruptions
spewing noxious fumes
fumbling for funds,
sign up for this,
try that to get more,
such aggressive announcements
Skip ahead and be done with them.
As honestly
nobody needs more stuff
as it won't fill
that hole in the soul.
Yet still they clamour
with crafty grammar
espousing glamour
with ceaseless yammer.
The advert is free,
your time
is non-refundable.
Opt out of the media merry-go-round
if you can;
books don't have pop-ups
and the sky isn't for sale yet.
