On a slow boat to China

Now I know what it means
when time passes
even slower
than it seems.

Cheap coins to Korea,
sent 4 weeks.
Paypal hold
as the customer tweeks!

"Have not receive,
want money back.
Please return to
Kwon Hyok".

2 more weeks
in relative dispair.
More coins gone-
into thin air.

Then comes a message
from Paypal:
Coins have reached Korea,
by way of Nepal!

"I receive my item now.
I'm sorry .
Thank you.
Very good.
Gem UNC."

So ends another saga
of International Mail,
the service with the speed
of an intoxicated snail. image

ed to add:

meant to be sung
to whatever chords
you can strum,
on your gee-tar.

    Thankfully this buyer was honest. image

    What's the longest time interval in shipping for you?

    I've still got a few packages in the wild from my first shot at ebay sales.. that's only been about 2 weeks though. Still kinda makes me anxious.

    The only reason I said Kay Kyser is because I know he recorded the song "On A Slow Boat TO China"- probably in the 1945-48 timeframe... and that was the only band/musician I could think of at the moment that did it image
