Stubble and trouble:
My face was hairy, all right.
And life was lousy.
Beard, lady, circus:
Thoughts ran their vicious cycles.
I tried many things:
Even Brad, smirking,
Lent his electric razor,
And some Barbasol.
Then Annette Lanzette
Rhymed grandly into my life,
With something simple:
A Mystery Thing,
A method that is painless,
Yet not electric!
Tweezers and a sign
Stuck to the back of my head
Saying: Hair Off Face.
Brad laughs at Madame.
He has just made a bad joke,
About vain women.
I am smiling now;
As I turn quickly towards Brad.
Watch those sharp corners.

I love the way the ad is written as if by some regular person who is sitting in their living room, writing a letter inviting you – personally – to find out what they do to solve a problem.And the address? "Department 812". Because everyone has a Department! Didn't you know?
