4 AD-INSPIRED POEMS, Google linked ads to inspire the poet ! Options

Dear Friends,

Another poet challenged us to write poems to the content-linked ads that google puts up on the various pages, so I did. I’ve included the ads to give context. Hope you enjoy.

Love
Alan



The ad :

Leather, dress, novelty, big/tall travel, kids, women, made in USA

The poem :
SUSPEND HER STORE

In face of ad for 300 suspenders
my first thought is - best I surrenders,
and tries at least a little barter
or she’ll have me guts for her 301st garter.



The ad :
Thin Red Line Shirts
Savile Row Quality Formal Shirts All shirts are not equal!

The poem :
SHIRTOFFYOURBACK STAKES
After “To Celia”

Drink to me only with thin red line,
and I will pledge my shirt;
or leave a tip for the Gold Cup,
and I promise not to whine.
The shirt that from the foal doth rise
doth need a trick divine;
though I of jockey's nectar sup,
they should not charge more than 3/9d.



The Ad :
Top Quality suspenders
Men's Suspenders- so unique they're Patented and come in 240 styles

The Poem
SUSPENSE MYSTERY SOLVED

The suspense of spenders
while browsing suspenders
is gruesome indeed to behold

With over two-forty styles
it’ll take quite a whiles
till a single unique pair’s been sold

Should you be caught short
on which part to support
your thingy, or is it yer trews :

Patented ! And unique !
Designed for suspense-geek !
It’s what Scotsmen for under kilts choose !



The ad :

The poem :
BRAVEPART

If anything itches
while you’re in your britches
we’ve the thing that will make you right proud
it’s our even itchier kilt
made from and for the black sheep
who wants to stand out from the crowd ....

It's plain to see that these ads give new meaning to the line -
Andy, where are your trousers?

Hi Alan,

I wouldn't change a thing! LOL I got a kick out of each one but I think SUSPENSE MYSTERY SOLVED has to be my favorite!

Thanks for the chuckle!

Dear Merlin and Cathy,

Thank you both, I got a real kick out of doing them, glad you did too.

M, you got me thinking, and I was able to google the original : Donald, Where's Yer Troosers?, which was a hit for Andy Stewart. You were therefore pretty close.

Cathy, the ladies all liked either that one or Bravepart. I wonder why ....

Love
Alan

I was tempted to respond with a poem, but I'll have to suspend that thought... actually it's been kilt! I don't want to be standing out half way down your tile!

Cute stuff, Alan.

Lightly, Daniel

Dear Daniel,

My how I have missed you and your penchant for wide-ranging word-play !

Thanks for the visit.

Love
Alan
