For some time the outside clock hasn't been working outside Marks & Spencer's. So I thought I'd drop the manager a line at M&S

Marks & Spencer

Please hear my plea

The time on your clock

I just cannot see

I don’t want you to think

I’m making a fuss

But I do like to see the time

When I get off the bus

Every Thursday I meet Elsa,

My friend, outside Yates

If I can’t see the time

I’m bound to be late

So will you do me a favour

I know it’s a bind

If I find the key

Will you give it a wind

Don’t think this is a wind up

I’m really sincere

I buy a lot in your sales

When it’s not quite so dear

So I’d better sign off,

‘cause doesn’t time fly

Until I see your clock ticking,

I’ll say a cheerful

“goodbye”

A reply from M&S is opposite

Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day. Polish Proverb 

A reply from the poem I sent to Marks & Spencer -

We at Marks & Spencer hear your plea

Regarding our clock, which you cannot see

We appreciate how customers feel

Shopping, meeting friends perhaps for a meal

Staff feel just as frustrated too

We don't want to be late, just like you

I have followed this matter up with our Operations Team

A repair has been logged it would seem

As long as the repair man finds nothing drastically wrong

It should start ticking before too long
