Ode to Netflix

When, in the empty days of summer

My husband is away, in class, on campus

And my house is empty,

I turn to my trusty DVD collection.

But, alas, I have watched them all already.

Woe is me, for I am too poor to buy any more.

But hark, what's this?

Netflix Instant Watch, live from my XBOX?

Oh joy! Oh bliss! Free movies for me!

Thank you Netflix, you forever hold a special place in my heart.
