Ode to Happy Speedy
Ode to Happy Speedy
Oh Muses! Grant me your blessing
that I may sing the praises of
internet grocery supreme
swift, tireless Happy Speedy!
Chorus: Happy Speedy! Internet Grocery
Supreme, swift Happy Speedy!
Oh Happy Speedy, purveyor of
glucosine delights innumerable,
Swift! The packets soar, and racing
through the ethereal net, arrive.
[chorus]
Now minions assemble grocerial
items numerous and variable
San Pelegrino infused with vapors
carbolical and Deluxe Egg Salad.
[chorus]
Hear now of the cornucopia
DARPA hath wrought, bringing unto us
Lean Pockets Ham and Cheese
and artisinal cupcakes, Hackers Delight!
[chorus]
And swift now! To thine autochariots go
and bring thou the vittles divine
A tip shalt thou receive, and moreso
An ode in thy praise now I sing!
