Old Style Shopping

In days gone by, your needs were met By going to the store. You looked and touched and sampled What was out there on the floor. A couch, a dress, a pair of shoes, Some dishes, a TV – Whatever you were searching for Was there for you to see. But now your quest is on a screen And so you scroll and stare, Then check a bunch of other sites So that you can compare. You won’t know if it’s comfortable - The fit might be in doubt – Until the truck delivers it And you can check it out. Of course, you can return it. Still, I miss those times before, When we shopped for things in person, Which we don’t do anymore.
