Amazon Order

Amazon Order

I ordered some things from Amazon, today.
That cold and wind outside, 
chilled my body and my bones on this sunny day;
  so I chose to shop from the safety of the warm inside.

I ordered things of necessity, or so I told myself.

Those obligatory buys needed to survive.
The laundry detergent and nice oils and shampoos,
  and so many other things I could use.
Things I may not use till the thaw of spring
  but I’m on a role, needing almost everything.

There at the checkout, I looked again,
  as the total was more than I meant to spend.
Delete that one and that one too
  surely, I could do without that coffeed brew.

Oh Amazon, how easy you make my purchase,
  but alas, I pressed the order key,
let’s hope it’s worth it.
