Plume Gateau

Dear Sir,
With Reference to that Plume Gateau,
I bought from you a week ago,
The bugger's furry and the icing's grey.
I do not wish to be a boor.
It's not the money (I'm not poor),
It's just I wanted it for Tom's birth-day.
And when I came to cut this cake,
My knives they bend and then they break.
It seems a wicked take-on trick to me,
I've always found your standards high,
So pardon that I raise this cry,
But this is more than a cal-am-it-y.
It's a bloody rip-off!
Yours Sincerely.
Dear Sir (a reply came by return of post)
We regret this incident,
We find it withough precedent,
And all the staff concerned have now been fired.
We've had the baker shot at dawn,
And burned his house and all the corn,
That is used for making bread and cakes
For the entire population of Northern
Canada as a punishment.
Yours Truly.
I didn't get my money back though!
