Oh, Amazon

(sung to the tune of Oh, Tannenbaum)

Oh, Amazon, oh Amazon
You give my life such meaning
For letting me buy all my gifts
While safely quarantining.

At birthday time or Chanukah
(Which makes it more ironica)
Oh, Amazon, oh Amazon
My purchasing’s a pleasure.

When what I need is in a store
Which I refuse to enter,
One click and you can show me more
Up close and front and center.

The things I buy get sent on time;
No shipping costs when I use Prime
Oh, Amazon, oh Amazon
You really are a treasure.

You have managed to get me humming and singing to your lyrics, Ilene :) True what you say; online shopping has come to our rescue during these troubled times. ~ Regards // paul
