Most anything you'd ever want
is no more than one click away.
When shopping for the hard to get
you needn't wait a single day.

Don't bother putting on your clothes
to head out to the nearest mall.
Just sit there in your underwear
and place your orders, large or small.

Yes, Amazon has paved the way
and simplified your life, that's true.
You think, "What if it went away?"
and ask yourself, "What would I do?"

Your savvy little three-year-old
says, "Mom, will you please order this?"
He wants a toy that he's pulled up
and works you with a little kiss.

Before too long, he'll figure out
which key to hit to order toys.
Just like his mom, this Amazon
is bringing him so many joys.

I often wonder what's ahead.
Will Amazon control my town?
Will retail workers lose their jobs
with malls and stores now shutting down?

Perhaps convenience is the key
that's helped make Amazon succeed.
Since, after all, who wants to shop
when one quick click is all we need?
