Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Online Reviews

Plan on online purchase?
Well, just click on the reviews.
It helps to hear what people say –
What have you got to lose?

Your mind, perhaps, for you’ll find out
Opinions vary widely,
From those described most glowingly
To others penned most snidely.

The bar graph gives percentages
Of how the ratings fare
So follow the conclusions
Or reject them, if you dare.

For everyone’s impressions
Will be different and distinct
And those who thus ignore them
Will be very soon extinct.

Maurice Rigoler October 25, 2018 at 4:39 PM I rarely buy anything on line, especially clothing or shoes, etc. I do read reviews and feedback on some things, like medications, etc. Food, never! Speaking of food, my poem on certain French foods are not the kind of eat, even though my grandparents ate some of them. As for bagels, yes, I will have one now and then, but beer (except for one Canadian brand – Fin du Monde – I do drink. / M

Rico Leffanta October 24, 2018 at 5:26 PM Newspaper this morning reports the horrible after-effects of GP prescribed medications because everyone's metabolism differs. A family of ten could eat the same meal and have ten different reactions, so it clearly makes sense to review the meal, making your poem very "succinct"! Aloha! Rico

Gershon Wolf October 24, 2018 at 5:00 PM Take me to the OR -- no, not to the operating room, … to the Online Reviews! Thanks for the smile, Ilene. :) gw

Connie Marcum Wong October 24, 2018 at 2:26 PM Checking the reviews has influenced my decision to buy something or reconsider. Those reviews are important. I agree with you 100 percent Ilene! : )

Chris Green October 24, 2018 at 2:17 PM This was funny and so true. What is really funny is I always check the reviews before buying something online but never leave a review once I buy it. I guess that makes me a bad online shopper. : )
