Poetic acknowledgment of book's arrival

The following "I got your book" email arrived this weekend, and at the risk seeming to blow my own trumpet I have to share it with you. It really made me laugh when it arrived. The author and I can't decide quite what the form is, but set to the right tune it could easily fit into Gay's Beggar's Opera.

The book's arrived, so very fast

I really feel quite stunned.

So very little time has passed

Since mailing Mr Lund.



Condition Fine, all tight and clean,

No bruising, and not sunned.

In fact, exactly as has been

Described by Mr Lund.



The price was fair, the book was good,

No need for a refund.

From what I've seen that never should

Be asked of Mr Lund.



Reader! if buying books online

Is something you have shunned

Remember, you'll do really fine

By using Mr Lund
