A Bouncy Box
These days to get one’s clothes online
May not mean what you think:
That wash and dry this may define
Does not receive a wink
No; shopping these days can be done
While staring at a screen,
On big, or even smaller one,
The products may be seen
The weird thing is that even though
Delivery will cost,
The saving on the price is so
That one will not have lost
A parcel I have just received
Has saved me quite a lot
Unless I’m very much deceived,
And do not know what’s what
Some spares for trampoline these be —
Of all the funny things,
The shipment that you here may see
Consists of springs from Springs!
(Yes, where I was able to source my spare springs was from a town 550 Km away called Springs! Note Katy (or Kitty) Purry, the Quality Inspector!)

Clever poem! And excellent shipment. It’s amazing what we can order and have delivered right to our homes. I do a lot of on-line ordering, but I don’t share your ability to cleverly describe the deliveries! 🙂

Brilliant poem… and what a great story! (Now I want springs from Springs! Unfortunately I may have to settle for a broom from Broome)

Robbie, you could order a gate from Gatehead or a pont from Pontoon! 🙂

Or a bottle of Port from any of the Port places like Port Elizabeth? Or a mouse from Mousehole (said mouzil) in Ingerlund?

That’s a good one! 👏🏻 You could have invented a new game here, or maybe that honour belongs to Les! 😀

Great poem!

Thanks! Do you note how the heading, while it actually does make complete sense, has to be studied really closely before it comes across?

HA! Those look familiar. Gotta maintain the bounce. (Good there’s an inspector to paw through any difficulties )

To give paws if anything is sub-standard!
