Give me a break - no, not like these

This was another of those quick poems in response to something on social media - this time, television commercials. As it references current commercials I expect the verse will become dated. That's no excuse not to write something though, is it?


Three minutes to seven, it's ALDI and Kevin. 
And then an address, by no less, M & S,
With Kev Bacon - don't groan - it's some tosh 'bout his phone 
Then Sky or BT or PlusNet endlessly. 

 Watch those pains in the neck, Santander, Ant and Dec, 
Drink a beer, hope those ads from IKEA disappear 
Bingos, Casinos, and that's how the cash goes 
A husband and wife - smile 'bout death and Sun Life. 

Celebs will enthuse about countless shampoos 
Ferrero Rocher - no, I don't really care 
No interest in banks, no Interest - those skanks; 
All of these you won't see if you go for a pee.
