For Lisa McNight!


Patience Is A Virtue!

I believe in saying thank you!
I believe in giving praise!
So in this case, I really think,
you should give Lisa McNight a raise!

They say patience is a virtue,
and yes, I must agree!
Because patience was certainly needed,
especially for me!
I had a little glitch with NTL,
well, I really should tell it true!
I was up the wall; my head was wrecked,
oh but yes, that's true!

I had a real big shock today!
When I went into my bank!
Because NTL took money they shouldn't,
and left my account blank!
So instead of being in the black,
I was thrown into the red!
Well I was raging mad, it was a mess,
this really should be said!

Over the past few days I tried to sort it,
but alas that wasn't to be!
I spoke to one person, then another,
oh dear, oh woe was me!
So I found out today about my bank,
and the charges I will incur…
Well I must admit, I was livid;
and it feels so terribly unfair!

I've been 15 years or more at that bank,
and never once in the red!
But today I was totally upset,
cos I should have been black instead!
So NTL made a mess of my account,
oh woe was me, oh what a mess,
So once more I made a phone call to you!
I had no choice, I guess!

So I had statements all over the place,
and paper here and there!
With writing on this, writing on that,
everything was a blur!
So then I called NTL again,
and didn't know where to start!
So I started at the beginning;
And told of my broken heart!

And Lisa McNight came on the phone,
And what a star she is!
Because she sorted what no-one else did,
She really did the biz!
She has the patience of a Saint,
Oh yes, that's true!
So here is a poem, especially for her,
Via of course, you!

So Lisa came to the rescue!
And gave me faith in you again!
But I jest you not, and I tell you true!
NTL is the sole one to blame!
She had a mire of a mess to sort out,
But sort it out she did too!
So here is a special thank you Lisa,
Because you really came through!

So at the end of that chat,
And the sorting the mess out, for goodness sake!
I suggested to Lisa, we take pain killers…
For our powerful headache!
Did I tell you I'm a poet Lisa?  No!  
Oooops', well I will tell it true!
I have 2 major books on world wide sale!
And I think I'll have to add you!

Add you to the 3rd one,
That's being released this year!
And there you'll be, forever more,
Eternalised and my thanks made clear!

So, shall I, Would I?  Course I will!

Oh, I did!!!
