Rampant commercialism, earlier today |
This is an old, old poem and very silly indeed. (It's not the quantity of silliness we object to, it is the quality...) It is also one which, entirely unprompted, my son once memorised—making it my most-quoted work.
I can't help but think that Anger Bob would probably have something to say about this, well... he'd mumble or maybe shout about it.
For your convenience and safety...
Carting in the shopping mall
foody in the hall of offers
coinly coffer outwards flowing
smiley, knowing, through a camera candidly.
Imaged in the mirror beasty
planning feasty for the week
sotto-voce speaking we
of tea and further meals.
But in securitoid recordly
imagined me and imaged you
what we do fully engraved
and patient saved on viddy-tape.
Risk the machine our souls to prey,
before we pay, if we should die,
and I and you archived to be
entombly on C.C.T.V
