MERETRICIOUS 191015

"Walking the streets seems meretricious, Watson..." said Holmes "come, on the game's afoot!" He added, misplacing a comma.

Over-decoration in baking
Makes a cake meretricious -
That it's merely a sponge
I'm really quite suspicious

"Meretricious" (from Kelvin Clone) - the fragrance that tells the world exactly what you are

Crawling at kerbsides 
Seeking meretricious "fun" -
Home life just a sham

Aren't we all just meretricious souls who keep our public personas on a peg by the front door...?

Meretricious -
°Of, or relating to prostitutes or prostitution.
°(hence) tastelessly gaudy, making a false show of being attractive.
