Smorgasbord of Slogans

Not sure about you, but I for one strongly dislike feeling all 'figured out' by advertisers who seem to think that they've got your number just because of some raw data they dug up from your search history or what not.

Therefore, today's Anti-Poem comes from a place of flippant resentment. It's really not meant to be taken too seriously, but should instead serve to lampoon those aforesaid advertisers (as in: this is what ya'll sound like) so that we can get a good chuckle at their expense.

If the following doesn't make much sense, it's precisely because it ain't supposed to!

From the forthcoming, Future Sutras: A Decade of Anti-Poetry

Smorgasbord of Slogans

According to the 'pro-filers'

You're either this, or a that

Nervous *tic*

Trifling gnat

Whose twitchy feelers

Appeal only to deaf ears

ADHD of sketchy dealers

Here's a tit for your tat

Feather tip for top hat:

~ Flow with ALL and adapt ~

Avoid any word-defilers;

Those sophistical Mephistos

Whom the philistine adores

Out of sorts behind closed doors

Many Hamlets | Few Horatios

Add missing line for compilers

Mix eye of newt with wing of bat

Freestyle skit becomes scat

Caught your tongue now—kitty cat!
