Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Yoo Hoo

At first, it was quite a surprise,
Just walking down a city street,
Looking in stores for bargain buys;
Then having my name called in repeat.
I'd look around. No one was there.
But then I'd hear my name again.
An ad for a brand name houseware
Was telling me about a pan.
I'd pause in front of store by store,
And ads kept beckoning to me,
Giving me sales pitches galore,
Knowing my buying history.

The ads recognize me a lot,
When sometimes my Mom does not.
