Open letter to
The Whirling Dervish
Rotary Clothes Line Co.
FAO.: Customer Relations Dept.
Dear Sirs,
I bought your clothes line
and installed it as directed,
but I think you should not sell these things
until they are perfected.
Perhaps I should just make it clear
I think your claims are sound;
the structure's very strong, yet light,
and it does go round.
Last week my wife hung out the wash
then stood back and admired it,
when suddenly a breeze sprang up
that apparently inspired it.
Since then, it hasn't stopped nor slowed
(my wife's begun to fear it),
it turns at such a rate, you see,
that no-one can get near it.
And so, though it may dry the clothes - tho' as yet we cannot prove it,
PLEASE will you send an engineer
to stop it and remove it?
Yours Sincerely,
