Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.

something like:

God, no. I can't stand the silly cellphone ads that use
(inexplicably) animals.

They're still lying in order to push a substandard 4.7MP camera.
