this thing and that with a sale price divine!
Yesterday started the big Begin
and once more today, so you can join in
to enjoy the acquisition precision
of stuff that's price-squeezed
then tap a button and presto! such ease
to get stuff with a special sale sparkle
Fuhgeddaboud the source oligarchical.
Then presto! in boxes and bags
with invoices and tags
stuff flies through the air
of stuff that's price-squeezed
then tap a button and presto! such ease
to get stuff with a special sale sparkle
Fuhgeddaboud the source oligarchical.
Then presto! in boxes and bags
with invoices and tags
stuff flies through the air
with nary a care
then loads into trucks big and small
that race through streets and by shuttered malls
bumping o'er roads, bridges, and ferries
driven by schedules with GPS, it hurries
whether in sun, rain, snow or muck
by your door, the thing lands while the truck
speeds away to another address
you open the thing that you bought for less
then pile it amongst your old stuff
since last year's Prime wasn't enuff.

Such a witty poem, "Primed." I love the images of those delivery trucks and that good ol' carbon footprint we make with our "priming." Ha!
