My dear colleagues, ladies and gents
I’m deeply honored to present
Our latest techno gadget gear
The biggest product out this year

Screw the ipod and the DS
This will be a HUGE success
Sold with lifetime guarantee
Beneath every Christmas tree

To sell the thing we need demand
So here is what I have planned
We’ll pass it through the hype machine
And fit it with a backlit screen

What’s the product? You do ask
A product that can multi-task
This is special, and unique
Today you’ll get a quickie peek

It’s a watch, but wait there’s more!
It’s not sold in any store
To single folks it will appeal
Sold with a discount or deal

It’s like watch, but this is great
Some watches monitor heart rate
We took that same technology
And studied cardiology

When in love, the heart beats more
And different than it did before
The little watch begins to sense
When the love gets quite intense

When the love is getting strong
The watch will beep, it’s never wrong
And when you hear that little sound
You will know true love is found

We got into the buyers brain
And made a clever ad campaign
You have a couple by the fire
Sitting close, showing desire

Kissing as their wet tongues slurp
In unison their watches chirp
Feeling the warm fire’s heat
Their beeps make a lone heartbeat

While they get entwined in love
Our logo drops in from above
And our catchy music plays
As we drop in our catchphrase

Now true love can be heard
The instant that it has occurred
Like the beeping of your heart
Not for sale at your Wal-Mart

Let it help find you a wife
With a long battery life
We’ll beat out the competition
Or buy them with an acquisition

For this watch, you send away
A hefty price you have to pay
Because hearing true love’s beep
Isn’t something that comes cheap

Now what’s the price of hearing love?
This is something we thought of…
For version 2, that is deluxe
We’re charging two thousand bucks

It will be for sale quite soon
The price will drop around late June
It’s almost time now, buy your own!
Under the tree with the cologne

“The greatest product ever made”
You won’t believe what people paid
Amazing what people have bought
To say what their heart cannot

Inspired by a conversation with ... This started off as a quirky love poem... but turned into this. It's a parody of many things, look for a couple subtle digs at nintendo, as well as the marketing world in general. Enjoy! Comment!

*update!* A kind of sequel of sorts has been written by ... check it out here ! [link]

Not breathing. No pulse. It's probably too late. You're already dead. Not a great time to consider

:iconaegeaneyelash:
:claps: Very nice!

I like the mockeries you made!! :D

Hmm... what our hearts can't say... Do our brains sometimes not let us say/ do what our heart desires? I guess so... such incongruencies in love...

Can you love someone and not allow yourself to be with them? Please respond to that...
