But I was starting now to worry,
The manager said "We're out,"
"Since just this morning we've been out"

Before I bolted, feeling sorrow
and run back the way the way that I had come,
I paused to buy a loaf of bread,
And took it with me home to bed,
And ate it every crumb.
I'll try again tomorrow.

You wrote a poem detailing your experience of attempting to purchase a
digital convertor box.

That's pretty neat.

Thanks. �

Actually it's from an earlier poem that begins:

Willie walked with happy heart,
A shiny quarter in his hand,
He went to buy an ice-cream cone,
A triple-decker ice-cream cone,
He marched quite gaily all alone
Up to the ice-cream stand.

"I'd like an ice-cream cone" he said.
The waitress spoke and said "That's nice
"And what will be your flavor please,
"We've thirty-six varities,
"You must be more precise!"

"I'd like a chocolate," he said
After making up his mind,
"We've no chocolate, sir" said she
"But we have cumquat and green pea,
"And watermelon rind."

Willie could not get a word in now,
So swiftly did the waitress speak,
"We have gumbo, bean, and Spanish Rice,
"And pumpkin fudge
"(You'll find that nice),
"Potato, fish, and leek."

and so on.

Anyway, it seemed to fit. Apologies if I got carried away...- Hide quoted text -
