the watch of time

(with apologies & deference to The Outlaws, ‘Green Grass & High Tides’)

In ‘honour’ of Cyber Monday…

At a time we really count on

When the shipping may be free

Silver ear phones, golden earrings

Fill the orders, plain to see

As a multitude of offers grow with each connect

All the sites are crying out with what we should get

Sometimes we should take the time so as to review

Our psychic needs are being met as we get the new

Now if I help you go on sites

Where all these offers glow

Will you help persuade me

To sometimes just say ‘no’

It’s not that I stop wanting

To see orders be complete

It’s just the need to draw the line

And know the job of buying at last is done

Green buys and cyber take centre

Mountains of clothes, tech, and timely

Web sites with treasures to get to

Hope the fast don’t scan them before you

Those who take it casual

Find time’s too late and so no deal

The ready know, the mind is steeled

The time to act for real

Based upon the research that was

Time truly well spent

And culling through the prices

To selections one could get

The yearly day is done

Green buys and cyber take centre

Mountains of clothes, tech, and timely

Web sites with treasures to get to

Hope the fast don’t scan them before you

O.K., now it is your tune…
