Poem 13: Amazon


Amazon...

Steer clear son
From this abomination

For all that tempts 
—the A-to-Z—
Is by them kept

At a finger's touch
No effort much

To transfer money
—It's so easy!—

At any time of day
Resist if you may

For pennies are easier saved
Than by hard effort made

Witness the world of work
That drives everyone berserk!

Enjoy what you own
Lying in your home

And use the library
Which lends for free

No need to clutter space
With needless blu-rays!

Yet I am a hypcocrite
I readily admit

Putting up for sale
Stuff dispatched by mail

Acquired in consumption
From the same corporation

Which gives me customers
And a stream of orders...

Amazon!
