      @Flumpy I can't claim ownership of that poem apart from having it in my collection on the computer :noidea:

      Although I do write some poetry it's not very good. :sad:

      I did write a poem to Sainsbury's when their toilet paper that I had bought turned out to be rough instead of Super Soft :heehee:


      A BIT OF A “BUMMER”
      (or an inconvenience)

      It is with regret I write to you
      About a problem in my loo.
      A product I bought, in your store,
      Is starting to make my bum sore.
      In days gone by I’ve used your brand
      Of toilet rolls and found them grand.
      But though they’re “super soft” by name
      They certainly don’t feel the same
      As those we’ve used for years and years -
      They’ve brought us to the verge of tears!
      So, Sainsbury’s, please bring back the days
      When we can utter words of praise
      For those fine rolls we use with ease,
      That do their job;
      and also please.

        Aaawe that’s brilliant Shiney, my late best friend who passed away a year and half ago was always writing poems, I remember at high School she was always reading them out to me, I always said she should of written books of them :)

                Good morning folks :)
                Looking good here....sunny and very mild:SUNsmile:

                Will grab some more compost and check over plants for potting on or mulching:)
                Rain over the weekend so will grab the opportunity to trim lawns.:)

                Yesterday a couple of visitors incl one I haven’t seen for a while popped in so hoping I can get these jobs done this morning in the garden:)

                  Aloha everyone,

                  We didn't get a lot of rain but the garden certainly needed what we did get. :blue thumb:


                  I got a prompt reply from Sainsbury's

                  I thank you for your charming rhyme,
                  It jumped out from my pile;
                  And when I showed it round the room
                  It more than raised a smile.

                  Our joy though did not last for long
                  As soon we had to learn
                  That toilet rolls from Sainsbury's
                  Have caused you great concern.

                  We tried to change these toilet rolls
                  To make them soft and new;
                  To make it fun for everyone
                  To sit upon the loo.

                  The Buyers I will notify
                  They make your bottom sore,
                  And we will do our best to make
                  Them softer evermore.

                  The voucher I am sending you
                  Comes with our great regret
                  That anything from Sainsbury's
                  Has caused you so to fret.

                  Yours sincerely
                  Alex Voskou

                  Manager - Customer Services
                  Enclosed: £5 voucher

                  I then wrote back

                  Your poem I received with joy
                  Knowing that you care
                  That my poor nether regions
                  Were in such disrepair.

                  I guess the voucher I received
                  Is not for me to try
                  To use here as a substitute –
                  That brings a tear to my eye!

                  So I’ll assume, and thank you
                  It’s sent in sympathy
                  For all the trauma suffered
                  Somewhere above the knee.

                  I’ll use it for the purpose
                  I think that you intend.
                  To buy your toilet rolls once more
                  To salve my tender end.

                  You’ve restored my faith in fellow man
                  Which recently went down the pan
                  Your voucher now seems heaven sent
                  To really placate my fundament.

                  To write in rhyme you have a gift
                  And your response gave me a lift.
                  I thank you, sir, so very much
                  For the way that you have kept in touch

                  With my plight
                  I won’t forget you
                  Customer Services and
                  Alex Voskou

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:
