glossy sincerity
by Hezekiah Allen Taylor

good morning
we are so glad you contacted us
about this issue
really we are
we wouldn't lie to you
for we appreciate your business

unfortunately
we are unable to assist you
with your request

it is beyond our scope of knowledge
we are hopelessly inadequate
truly

it's a shame you had to waste your time
contacting us when, really
said time could have been
better spent
figuring it out for yourself

but, again
we are so happy you contacted us
we're almost ready to burst into
a thousand pieces of pure joy

oh, and good luck

sincerely
customer service
