What used to be a glance at a billboard

Now is studied carefully

I no longer trash all the inserts in my newspaper

or immediately flip channels when the commercials come on the TV

And playing this rich media on repeat

is going to cause animation in my dreams

Working with sports teams representing a sponsor

Makes going to the ballpark a lot more fun

Creating Excel documents may not be thrilling

but without them, organization goes out the window

Never did I think I would listen to theme songs and radio spots on repeat

but now it surely competes with my favorite Pandora station

POP used to be something I drank

But now it’s in the form of cardstock and window clings

I usually write strategy documents and summarize meeting minutes

But today, I wrote this poem about advertising
