My 4 Year Old Rhymes Better Than This





Regardless of whether you like this ad or not (meh, in my book), how is it possible to fuck this rhyme up so bad? 

Seamless Web, do you really think the general subway riding public is so stupid that:

a) we won't understand that this is supposed to be like the "Roses are red" nursery rhyme, and

b) we're so doltish that unless we see "have your cake and eat it too" written out exactly like that we won't understand that reference either?

No, it's much better to add a line in the middle that doesn't rhyme with anything and completely fucks up the meter of the original nursery rhyme.  Now you've almost guaranteed that half the people won't get the joke.

Try this on:

Landlines are dead,
the Hudson is blue,
order your cake online
and eat it too.

That wasn't so hard, was it?
