Advertising Poetry writing prompt entry
Thank you diana_mascarenhas for your wonderful artwork - The Saddest Fool. It is brilliant.


Hear ye, hear ye, you silly fools
Come and listen, lay down your tools
I have something you really must buy
Come on, roll up, now don’t be shy


I’ll show you what you really need
Today’s must have, help with your greed
Have something better than your friends
Show off the very latest trends


My product's simply the very best
It’s much better than all the rest
Before you can have it, you’ll have to pay
Increase your debts this very day


Once you’ve bought it, there is no doubt
You’ll never be able to live without
It’s truly excellent, it’s really flash
You fools, you’ll soon part with your cash


What is this product that I sell?
Just pay your money, then I'll tell
A credit card will do just fine
Now your money will be all mine
 
Hear ye, hear ye, you silly fools
Come and listen, lay down your tools
I'm here to tell you something funny
Now you've parted with your money


This pipedream you thought would be nice
Is nothing but a fool’s paradise
 


Writing Prompt
Write a poem or jingle, any style, to sell a product or service.

Author Notes
So many people part with their money in the hope of getting something unrealistic. There are a lot of predators in the world and on the net who rip people off, without any conscience. They treat the strugglers as fools, taking their money without any guilt.
