Wrapped in gimmick-filled disappointment,
sooty deposit blacken the nose;
a warm, wet mash of jingoisms,
into the mouth of contrivance, it goes.
A classic case of misdirection,
a ruse to confuse, to obscure all doubt;
Catchphrased and garnished in pickles,
“Two-fer-one until it’s all sold out!”
Inspired by this SubStack note by Hamid Saraj
