I Am A Walking Billboard

I am a walking billboard.
I am every company’s wish,
from my hat that says Cabelas
to my shoes that bare the swish
of the all-familiar Nike sign,
I publicize them all
like this shirt that reads Adidas
in a big white soccer ball.

My underwear say Tommy
though, indeed, that’s not my name
and while my socks are made by Hanes
to me they fray the same.
My jeans bare tell-tale emblem
by the belt loops - its Levis.
I can’t believe this racket -
I pay them to advertise.

I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S

LOL...it reminds me of the Back to the Future scene when our hero, Martie, is identified by the name on his underwear...Calvin Klein!

It's good to see an "up" poem from you!

P.S. How's the project coming along?

I actually won't wear anything that has words on it or the name of the company...
