Truth in Advertising

Talk about oxymoron!

This one takes the cake.

When it comes to truth in advertising

There can be no mistake.

The two words shouldn't even be

In the same vocabulary.

'Caveat emptor', buyer beware;

Listen, but always be wary.

Competitors never tell the truth

Regardless of who takes the stand.

"I'm better!"  "He stinks!"

"Don't buy his product.

Buy ours. We think we're grand."

Each one accuses

The other of falsehood,

So, who knows which product to buy?

The only sure thing about advertising

Is that someone will surely tell a lie.
