Three Commercials

This boxfull of salt
and dried pasta
will help you make
an African-American family
happy together
eating hamburger.

This soap is so full
of artificial scent
that it will give you
a big orgasm.

This plastic toy
will talk to your
blonde children
and teach them English
so that you can
keep watching T. V.
