Not-so-Express Delivery... published Cambridge News 13 May 2014 and 25 June 2014









Not so Express Delivery

An order on line should save lots of time
The package will come to the door
A concept that seems to be just fine
Its supposed to arrive between two and four
The 18th thay say, OK that's today
That parcel should now be on its way

It says I can track it as soon as they pack it
I can follow its travels
As its route here unravels
The red icons on screen with roads in between
And that speedy white van with delivery man
Will get here just as fast as it can

I am right here and waiting
To see its approach
But now there's an email 
Saying delivery did fail
No one at home when they rang the bell
*
But that's nonsense - I was watching here just to be sure!
