Thicker hair and longer lashes
harder nails and softer skin
a larger house and faster car
active bowels and vitamins
higher cheekbones, lower hips
a younger body minus flab
brownies, burgers, double fries
a rounder butt and flatter abs
a brand new stove and DVD
smaller pores and bigger tits
louder speakers, sounder sleep
sexual verve and fewer zits
spotless glass and toilet bowls
quality time with which to "share"
slimmer thighs and fuller lips
self-esteem and quarts of beer
shiny shelves and stylish shoes
a broader mind and slender nose
a better job and cheaper bank
no static cling, designer clothes
brighter whites and vibrant colors
fresher breath and blinding smiles
more policies and credit cards
to nurture our poor inner child.

But what is needed much more than these ?
Wider, thinner digital TVs.
High-resolution / surround sound please,
to overwhelm any sense of complicity
as we watch, absorb and finally believe
that buying solutions for the fear that we're fed
will guarantee inundated wallets and beds!
