Online Shopping

Technology taking over
Faster than we know
Smart phones and pretty gadgets
All these androids on the go
Shops are closing faster
Faster than we think 
More jobs gone tomorrow
It’s an online shopping dream
Online shopping dream



Amazon, Ebay and Wal-Mart
Just to name a few
Online shopping for everyone
Is the future scaring you
You’ve got so many passwords
You can’t remember them
You’d rather stop but you need to shop
It’s an online shopping trend
Online shopping trend



Sitting here waiting patiently
For the parcel to come
We’ve got the date just can’t wait
But that parcel having fun 
Has it been left outside my door
Because I never heard a ring
It’s likely disappeared again
That parcels’ a mystery



I miss that window shopping
The try before you buy
I used to shop until I’d drop
But you can kiss it all goodbye



So link your card to your account
Then you can do it too
Start your shopping online now
There’s not much else to do
Big name shops are closing down
They seem to follow suit
Joining in the online crowd
It’s an online shopping move
Online shopping move



Sitting here waiting patiently
For the parcel to come
We’ve got the date just can’t wait
But that parcel having fun 
Has it been left outside my door
Because I never heard a ring
It’s likely disappeared again
That parcels’ a mystery

A great send up poem, Kevin. Had me laughing all the way through. Very keen and pointed observations. Excellent poem, my friend. Love and peace to you.

I lives get so busy that we miss the chance to stroll along main street -- talking to friends, laughing and singing. Gotta go, just heard the door bell, I believe it's the UPS guy! Nicely done Mr. Leake

I much prefer to see the article and rarely buy on line - so sad to see small businesses closing as they cannot compete with the big boys on line:-( hugs jan xx

Thanks Jan for visit and comments, It seems that a lot of things now you can't get in the shops, for instance there's only two stores in my town that sale car accessories now, all have disappeared. Best wishes Kevin
