Dear Customer Complain Department
2
I have nothing to complain about
3
In fact, I have nothing but good things to say
4
About your company today
5
Let me begin by saying
6
That normally, I avoid your store like the plague
7
But recently on a drive to Dallas
8
My car broke down on the side of the road
9
In West, Texas, not the direction
10
But the town called West
11
It was the battery
12
I got a jump-start for free with my Triple-A card
13
But the local mom-and-pop garage
14
Were unfortunately unable to assuage
15
My electrical conundrum 'cause my car is not American-made
16
So still running from my earlier jump-start,
17
I drove on down the road,
18
and for the first time in my life,
19
Praying that I'd see a Wal-Mart
20
Now normally your store is like a virus
21
Like Miley Cyrus
22
In a teen magazine
23
Every five miles on the road,
24
Like a toad
25
A monstrous amphibian on the horizon,
26
Entirely blocking out the sun
27
But today Murphy's Law was riding shotgun
28
I didn't see one
29
For 47.5 miles
30
And as I drove into Lancaster, Texas
31
Alabaster, Albatross, it rose out of the darkness
32
And I cried tears of joy as I drove around the back
33
To the Tire and Lube Garage
34
And I jumped out with my car still running
35
I asked a jump-suited employee if he could change my battery
36
But he didn't have a smile for me
37
He said, "Forty-five minute wait"
38
But in forty-five minutes I was going to be late
39
To my very first show at Uncle Calvin's Coffee House
40
At a church in northeast Dallas
41
So I stood under the late afternoon sun
42
On the hot asphalt
43
My car continued to run...
44
And I thought, "this is the end of the line..."
45
I was running out of gas
46
And running out of time
47
Figuring I'd finish my days
48
In a Wal-Mart parking lot, in a heat-stroke haze
49
When an angel appeared at my side
50
And her name-tag read 'Angela,' she had pity in her eyes
51
She said, "Pull in to Bay number two, and pop your hood, and I'll see what I can do"
52
And she examined the dimensions of my battery
53
Said, "Yeah, I think we have that. I'll go get it for you."
54
And the sun began to feel like my friend
55
And when she returned, she had tools to lend
56
And Angela and I worked side-by-side
57
As though we'd worked together since the dawn of time
58
Five minutes later, when I tried to pay her,
59
She said, "Pay for the battery,
60
But you don't owe me anything"
61
As I turned to leave,
62
She said, "Write a letter to Wal-Mart
63
And tell them what you think of me"...
64
So Dear Customer Complaint Department,
65
I have nothing to complain about
66
In fact, I have nothing but good things to say
67
Please pass on my thanks to Angela today
68
And you should give her a raise...
69
And let her unionize
70
Sincerely,
71
Matt.
