An Amazon Box

We expected an Amazon box,

Which had toothpaste and sandals and socks,

Plus a few odds and ends

Which, when Amazon sends,

Rarely ends up with stumbling blocks.

 

Yet the package, this time, never came

And we’re not really sure who to blame,

For the app said, “You’ll find

That the doorman had signed,”

But he didn’t, despite what they claim.

 

Finding someone to help was a chore –

Service isn’t like it was before –

But at last we were told

There’s a one-day long hold

So the whereabouts they can explore.

 

We will wait before calling their bluff,

Though I doubt that they’ll locate our stuff.

Once I thought they were great

But I’ve noticed, of late,

Amazon isn’t quite up to snuff.
