Amazon ships
In the darkness, in the night
Race off ahead of schedule
Against pirates, they will fight
A shiny disc of aluminum
In a warehouse off the shore
They will come and deliver you
To someone else’s showroom floor

Amazon ships
The things you might not find
Delivered by postal women
With sliced breasts, but are kind
They sail off right on the dot
Into seas that are quite calm
Wait only a few more days
And my gift will be in your palm
