ANGER

If you're boiling over with
anger at your ex-spouse,
write a letter to
the Hunt-Wesson Corporation
in Fullerton, CA 92834.
Tell them politely that you
just bought a package
of their new vanilla flavor
Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix,
that you think it's the
worst stuff you ever tasted,
and you want your money back.
(You will have to find
your own gripe, of course.)
A few weeks from now,
you will likely have a check
for the full purchase price,
along with a letter of apology
and several coupons –
no expiration date –
for any of their products
you'd like to try.
Try getting that kind of satisfaction
from your ex-spouse.
