Online Shopping

Technology taking over Faster than we know Smart phones and pretty gadgets All these androids on the go Shops are closing faster Faster than we think More jobs gone tomorrow It’s an online shopping dream Online shopping dream Amazon, Ebay and Wal-Mart Just to name a few Online shopping for everyone Is the future scaring you You’ve got so many passwords You can’t remember them You’d rather stop but you need to shop It’s an online shopping trend Online shopping trend Sitting here waiting patiently For the parcel to come We’ve got the date just can’t wait But that parcel having fun Has it been left outside my door Because I never heard a ring It’s likely disappeared again That parcels’ a mystery I miss that window shopping The try before you buy I used to shop until I’d drop But you can kiss it all goodbye So link your card to your account Then you can do it too Start your shopping online now There’s not much else to do Big name shops are closing down They seem to follow suit Joining in the online crowd It’s an online shopping move Online shopping move Sitting here waiting patiently For the parcel to come We’ve got the date just can’t wait But that parcel having fun Has it been left outside my door Because I never heard a ring It’s likely disappeared again That parcels’ a mystery © Copyright KC.Leake 15th December 2016 All Rights Reserved

A great send up poem, Kevin. Had me laughing all the way through. Very keen and pointed observations. Excellent poem, my friend. Love and peace to you.

I lives get so busy that we miss the chance to stroll along main street -- talking to friends, laughing and singing. Gotta go, just heard the door bell, I believe it's the UPS guy! Nicely done Mr. Leake

I much prefer to see the article and rarely buy on line - so sad to see small businesses closing as they cannot compete with the big boys on line:-( hugs jan xx

Thanks Jan for visit and comments, It seems that a lot of things now you can't get in the shops, for instance there's only two stores in my town that sale car accessories now, all have disappeared. Best wishes Kevin

Hmmmm Scary stuff this online shopping. I prefer the old way myself but then I'm from a different era. Great job here Kevin. A seven from me. God Bless, JB
