#CreativeSprint Day 22 - The Spam Box

In the Spam Box
Lives a multitude of fatty toxicity
Porky pies live here and multiply
And pinky pigs with curly tails fly
Across the virtual internet skies
With pumped up promises
Of immediate cash donations,
Death-defying beauty
And never-failing hard-ons.

Here in the Spam box
Forever friends come with
A Western Union pricetag,
Sexy chat can be yours for
A dollar a minute 
And casino wheels spin
To the racket of rampant
Consumer dreams coming
To a sticky, happy end.

We keep this grotesque parade
Safely tinned and filtered,
But just one crack in the box
And K-Y jellied innards
Start oozing slippery seduction -
Emoticons wink, stars flash, 
Hashtags blare the slogans 
Of an insane shopping world 
Fat on the belief that 
Anyone and anything 
Can be bought, bargained 
And boxed into Spam.
