Order, Order, Order

I can order, order, order
And return, return, return.
I’m an Amazon supporter
But I guess I’ll never learn

That the odds of really finding
Something perfect while online
Takes a mountain of reminding
That most things won’t wind up mine.

Either it appears in person
Nothing like when on the screen
Or my views on it will worsen
When my mirrors intervene

Or the comfort level’s lacking
Or it’s sparking zero joy;
Then it’s time to send it packing,
Keeping truckers in employ.

So it’s back to the computer
Where I’ll start my endless scroll.
Surely I’ll find something cuter – 
I can feel it in my soul!

You are a Trojan to go to all that trouble, I would rather go to the shop and try it on. But I guess then all the excitement of receiving a parcel would be gone. Loved your poem.

Might be hard to believe but i do not shop online. I patronize the local shops and mom and pops. I figure if I gotta pay taxes, I may as well give them to the community I live in. I did think your poem was funny, Ilene. Never a wasted moment reading your poems:)

LOL. Again, good one, Ilene. We are living in the same era, for sure - Modern Times.
