| Mair fowk it seems are buyin online Toon cinters noo are in decline A click on tae ony online store Aathing seen cams tae yer door . Fowk they claim es saves them time Aboot local shops care nae a dime As lang as fin they click the moose The “stuff’s” deliver’t tae their hoose . Empty shoppies they’re aa aroon Some are even bein rugg’t doon Ither eens struggle tae survive As yearly profits they tak a dive . Money nae langer spint in the toon Causin city faithers tae hae a froon Weel kent shoppies they gyaang bust As fowk embrace es online lust . Amazon noo is fair takin ower Bigger they git the mair the power Add tae basket ye jist click As throwe their website ye div flick |
They say progess ye canna stop An es is noo the wye tae shop High Street shop’s wull be nae mair As modern shoppers cwidna care . As lang’s they git fit they wint An online orders are nae tint They’ll click the moose fer ivver mair On laptop screens they sit an stare . Toon cinters seen fu’ o ghosts Shops an shoppers are aa lost Online shoppin kills the trade O local fowk fa war self made . So cast yer myn back a fyle Fin city cinter shops hid style On streets there wis a bustle Syne online stores,trade did rustle . . . . ©Bob Smith “The Poetry Mannie” 2014 |
