Customer Reviews

I’ve heard reviews on Amazon
Are very often fake.
I read them, though, to help
With some decisions I must make.

So first I read the positives
With 4- or 5-star ranks
And then I skim the ones submitted
By a bunch of cranks.

Of course, by now, I’m so confused
That nothing makes my cart,
Which proves that I’m an idiot
Or else I’m really smart.

I never look at the stars - my husband and I usually agree with each other on books and movies, but almost never with the critics.

I've wondered about that too, Ilene. With lying the new lingua franca who knows who's telling the truth about anything these days? / Maurice

That pretty well sums up every online purchase I make. Excellent rhyming, Ilene. Terry
