Two Post Modern Sales Engaged Poem by Bill Grace

There was once a time when a sale was real
When seller and buyer each held their fire
Perhaps not so good a fit if you waited
Today my experience is
The classic goods are withdrawn - sent back
Zip off pants, a Charley Brown Great Pumpkin T -
I suspect quite a list could be developed.
It is the maximization of profit I resent
It is the conspiracy against
A little thing called deferred gratification
That once upon a time if you waited
You got what you wanted - or at least hoped for -
for a little less
Once even the sale of a fish
Was under the Lordship of Christ.
