To the President of Broken Promises :

Dear Sir,

Our company, Hearts Are Us, likes doing business with your company,
Broken Promises.

After going over invoices, we noticed that you have gone up on your prices.
The cost for LOSS is now "pain and suffering". We were hoping that you
could cut the cost for us at least to "quick and painless" since this is the item that we purchase the most from you.

If you cannot cut the price, may we suggest throwing in a "extended warranty" ?

The following would be acceptable :

With the purchase of this LOSS now, the "buyer" is guaranteed happiness and
eternal bliss at a later time.

Thank You for your time and remember :
A satisfied customer is a returning customer.

    that is quite clever
    ingenious even

    perhaps this style of poetry could be like a series for you to build on, yes? no?

    although it has more of a satirical than poetic feel to it, I like the way you put it.

    In the ancient tradition of the Romans, the venom is in its tail
    Surf little waves big... Charge big waves hard

    weed, I think this one is the best one you've done. It presents your feelings without dipping into name-calling. Good job! :)

    Well, you're known in this poetry forum as one who curses and gets angry a lot. ;)

    words, words, words = they're all words

    who ever got to decide which ones are to be bad or not anyway ?

    to answer your question
    my best educated guess is
    some jerk off in a robe in Rome way back when ;)

    To the President of Broken Promises :

    Dear Sir,

    Since you did not get back with us regarding your prices, we have decided to do business somewhere else. This is not easy for us to do, but quick and painless seems to be the best way. You have left us scratching our heads wondering how to make things better.

    We will certainly miss the company parties that we shared together, especially the cook-outs at the park.

    Thank you for all that you have done for us in the past and maybe one day we can conduct business once again.


    ps Maybe you can give us a call when you get the bugs worked out.

    Funny thing is, I needed to read this today. It's quite applicable to some things rolling around in my head... Severing "business" relations with a trading partner.
