NaPoWriMo Catch-up 10: And now, a word from our sponsor

This
is an advertisement
for the poem
I would have written

if I wasn't really
knackered
from a week of early starts.

It is not a wacky, hypey advert.
It needs no inflatable flailing-arm
tube man to get your attention.
It comes with no free gift, and
no ex-soap-star will exhort you
with the mantra that you buy one,
YOU GET ONE FREE!

This poem will not give you broadband, calls and Sky Atlantic
in one inclusive package.
This poem does not offer a loan
at 437685% interest apr. 
This poem compares no meerkats.

This poem consists of one image:
a beautiful young person,
their gender undetermined, 
shot in black - and white, 
and these few words:

POETRY
by
AJ

Pour homme. Pour femme.
Pour tout le monde.
