With Apologies to William Carlos Williams (aka Emails I Send To Branch Staff)

This Is Just To Say
I have drank
the diet ginger ale
that was in
the SV icebox

And which
might have
belonged
to you

Forgive me
if it was yours
I could not remember
If it was mine

(There are also a couple Coke Zeros in there that might be mine too – let me know if either the Diet Ginger Ale and/or the Coke Zeros belong to you and I’ll replace/keep my grubby hands off in future!)

J.

PS – Original poem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Just_To_Say):

THIS IS JUST TO SAY
By: William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold[4]
