A eulogy to those who have attempted to buy online and come unstuck.
Tick tock
Click goes the mouse tock goes the clock,
times passing it feels right to
take stock,
to call a halt and yell stop.
ponder what we get when we shop.
Click goes the mouse tock goes the
clock,
a lifetime since hickory dickory
dock,
and what have we learned in all of
those clicks,
that we need to beware of
retailers’ tricks.
Tock goes the clock and click goes
the mouse,
whether we buy for ourselves or the
house,
what arrived may not work, or fit,
you’ll get a refund so what of it.
Click goes the mouse and tock goes
the clock,
what of manufacture quality shock,
no control over shoddy goods,
oh yes refunds causing delivery
floods.
Click goes the mouse and tock goes
the clock,
customer service at the bottom of
the rock,
like a refund means it doesn’t
matter,
avoiding negative feedback chatter.
