You can a take-a-way anything these days.
All kinds of groceries and fast food.
Often delivered within the hour.
Never leaving home if you’re shrewd.

All sorts of things delivered to your door.
Like flowers, vouchers and any other gift.
I’ve even had a car brought to my home.
Its rather akin to a legitimate shop-lift.

Amazon has everything apart from a shop.
Press a button and it’s winging its way to you.
Very often just left on your doorstep.
No ‘Hello how are you’; it’s an Amazon drive-through.

I‘ve heard of a man who got a take-a-way bride.
That’s disrespectful and totally foolish.
He’s like a modern-day Dr Frankenstein.
His actions were downright ghoulish.

Take-a-ways are re-shaping society.
Diminishing connections between us all.
If Amazon ever organised a social event.
I’ve no doubt at all it be a masked ball.
