Dear Valued Customer:Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for filing a letter with our Department of Complaints located in our prestigious Office of Sure, Sure, Whatever You Say. While we were sorry to learn that you were less than satisfied with the musical plastic toy-set (with no OFF button), purchased for your grandkids, we are pleased to offer you a semi-free gift with your next purchase of a larger plastic toy-set with super flashing lights. But first, for a limited time only - we are offering you this exclusive opportunity to step away from our colorful catalogue of things; put your wallet in a hidden drawer - and go for a walk. During that walk, collect your thoughts - 17 syllables worth of thoughts, and write it down. We present to you the gift of time. Time for reflection. For creativity. For stillness. For enjoyment. Time for Haiku.
Sincerely,
The Team at Complaints, Stuff, and Sometimes Poetry, Inc.
