There must be some mistake- <br />Some mix-up in the bookkeeping. <br />He was not meant to recline <br />In the shade of cold marble: <br />All the angles are wrong, <br />The perimeters too confining. <br /> <br />He preferred curling tendrils of ivy <br />True, he wanted the vegetables- <br />Sadly absent around here- <br />Neatly aligned, and surrounded by <br />All the gardeners paraphernalia: <br />Casually displayed; never hidden from view. <br /> <br />A sprawl of dogs to complete it. <br />He was never much for ceremony <br />And over-kempt hedgework- <br />Can't you check one more time, <br />To make sure things are done <br />According to his wishes?<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-customer-is-always-right/
