I scream, I shout, I wail, I appeal

I croak myself hoarse

I whoop with joy

I call out, I implore, I plead

For everything, I think you need,

You desire, you may want

To satiate your greed

Whet your appetite

Appeal to your senses.

Drive you to a splurging spree

Degree by degree

Make you buy things you don’t need

And will probably never use

I make sure I’m heard

I want you to notice me, heed my suggestion

Take impulsive, instantaneous action

I cajole, coax, coerce;

In the aftermath, leave you to ‘lonely remorse’!

With your empty purse!

Though supremely satiated, of course!

Don’t buy me?

No one can do without me!
