Free Delivery

Have we become mindless shoppers
Arriving home
Wondering
“what’s in that bag”

Pushing the “reorder” button
On a “saved” grocery list
Waiting for a “text”
To verify your existence.

The “nutrition” police
Have scanned your order
(aka know as request)
And altered said “request”.

Your compliance will be monitored
A bell will ring to remind you
When it is time to consume
The offerings of the day.

Please feel free to contact us
No one will respond
But your arrogance
Will be recorded.

Love all of this one my friend. Yes we are headed that way. This especially gave me pause to laugh out loud "" Please feel free to contact us No one will respond But your arrogance Will be recorded."" Now that is on the mark!! God bless you..

A sad, but true, commentary on our new way of life. No need to hit the re-order button. They will just send us what they say we need.
