Dear Internet, please stop showing me
All the stuff I could acquire
It’s not that I don’t want it
For you know that I aspire
To wear those funky trainers
And play with that new phone
But I’m sure I can’t afford
All these things I’d like to own
And while I do agree
That that discount is obscene
I’m certain I don’t need
A Karaoke Machine
And while I’m sorely tempted
To spend my hard-earned cash
To buy a robot vacuum
Does seem a little rash
I know it would be easy
It’s just one click to pay
But I should really save my money
For a rainy day
And no that doesn’t mean
I need a brand-new coat
Although that is rather fetching
The blue one gets my vote
But no, I must resist
I don’t need extra stuff
When it comes to useless junk
I already own more than enough
Oh Internet, I really hope
We can get past this blip
But you can keep your cookies
I prefer mine with chocolate chips
I give this a 9.5 out of 10.
The deduction of the half mark is for the absence of any mention of the tempting inducement of ‘free shipping’.
Maybe in the sequel?

Ah, a clear omission on my part. Perhaps I can tempt you back with a free wall calendar and a stylish pen?

It’s mainly the fact that they bring the name ‘cookie’ into disrepute. Because the other kind of cookies are great and they don’t deserve to be associated with this kind of thing…
