Always Time For A Rhyme

Funny, Government, UK, Wordplay | Right | December 17, 2014

(Our county council has online web forms for people to get in touch.)

Customer Email:

“The winds outside blew and blew,
and my bin lid verily flew;
in a lickety-split,
I emailed you quick,
to request a brand new one from you.”

(Since the customer did not tell us whether it was her recycling or refuse bin that broke in the weather, I have to contact her back. It is the first time I have EVER received a request in limerick form, so I decide to phone the lady. Unfortunately, it goes to voicemail.)

Me: *to the voicemail*

“The council received your request,
but you leave us a little perplexed;
amidst rhyming hype,
forgot ye the type,
of the bin lid you meant to suggest.”
