An ode to enquirers
An ode to enquirers
Turn an enquiry in to a booking would be music to my ears
But 2009 is proving the most elusive of years
To phone, to e-mail, to follow up...or not
So many questions stirring round in the pot
I have done all three & smiled when I speak
Even when asked for a discounted peak week
I've held dates, replied quick, sought out info they 'need'
What more do they want, would they like me to bleed !
An hour was spent only the other day
Speaking to a lady who so wanted to stay
Let's make it clear at the beginning I say
During peak season arrival MUST be Saturday
She asks where's the beach, how's the golf & how's the view
I keep smiling, keep answering despite needing the loo !
The interrogation ends, she e-mails today
Would it be alright to arrive on a MONDAY ??
It's all getting too much for my frazzled nerves
Enquirers are my master, it is they that I serve
I've had more than ever in 2009
So I should be happy, not whinge and whine
But these new age masters are a cunning breed
They have something, I guess, they know you need
So they stop by for a while to tease and play
Then they bugger off....I'll get my own back one day

Well the clue to that was in the first verse Richard i.e is it possible to change the glut of non converting enquiries, is there anything else I should be doing At the mo I'm still stressing because I'm still wondering if I can change ite-richard wrote: But how does that poem now gel with your signature tagline ?
Anyhooo little 'ditties' are something I've been doing since childhood, I've got a sweet little collection of them somewhere ranging from family ones, sweetheart ones to trials and tribulations of bringing up children ones...it soothes me
