Hear now of the cornucopia
DARPA hath wrought, bringing unto us
Lean Pockets Ham and Cheese
and artisinal cupcakes, Hackers Delight!

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!

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.

Some day I need a bunch of people to go into Starbucks in Harvard Square with me and then order a beverage and tell them my name is "Spartacus." :)

They just don't make 'em like they used to.
