Advertisers make use of a wide range of techniques to gain our attention in urging us to buy their products and services. Some of these attempts are hilarious while others can be misleading.

Let the hype roll
Show them the good
Bad and ugly
Entice them
Titillate
- – -
Show those scenes
Of romance
If it bleeds it leads
These are the means
To an end
- – -
We’ll package
Sell goods
And services
In attractive slots
At times the packaging
Is more appealing
Than the products
- – -
Our objective is to sell
Give them medicine
They will never forget
But keep coming
Back for more
- – -
It’s all in the joys
Of advertising
Where creativity
Is at work
- – -
Artists conceptualize
A framework
To sell us things
They’ll give us
The London Bridge
If they have to
- – -
They create a heaven
For us
They will tell us
About hell
It could be fire
And brimstone
- – -
All these things
Advertisers do
To persuade, jolt
Appeal
While screaming
At us
To buy
Their products
- – -
Some of these attempts
Are hilarious
