Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Bad Ad

When I was a kid I did eat

A cereal of well known brand.

Lots of sugar so very sweet,

At first this cereal was banned

By my parents as bad for me.

But when I showed them on the box

Better my attention would be,

My folks okayed eating in talks.

Many years later this box ad

That kids' attentiveness went up

Eating these flakes was proven bad,

Very false advertising, yup.

I still eat these sweet flakes galore,

Still inattentive evermore.
