The Lifestyle You Ordered
The lifestyle you ordered is currently out of stock
our warehouse has been stripped of supplies
our people are working around the clock
be sure to remember your size
The lifestyle you ordered has had a slight change
we’ve just had to hike up the price
Unfortunately we are unable to exchange
before purchase you should always check twice
The lifestyle you ordered is experiencing delays
There’s nothing more we can do
We’ll try and alert you in a couple of days
when we’ll all have much more of a clue
The lifestyle you ordered is waiting on parts
The supplier can’t give us a date
Your warranty excludes these stops and these starts
we’re sorry if your lifestyle is late
The lifestyle you ordered has hit a bit of a glitch
it appears that the edges are frayed
We have our experts checking every stitch
please be patient if you’ve already paid
The lifestyle you ordered seems to have hit a snag
our schedule has fallen behind
We’d just like to assure you, though we don’t like to brag
That this lifestyle is the best you will find
The lifestyle you ordered has just run aground
we’re launching a rescue tonight
we’d really appreciate you not hanging around
just in case things get awkward or tight
The lifestyle you ordered appears to have expired
It unfortunately ran out of hope
Our plan was to have it before you retired
we’re sorry you’ll just have to cope

This poem could be very original and amusing if it wasn’t so accurate
Love your work SN! Could it be lyrics to your next original guitar and harp work?
