The Letter P



Subject: Petition to Precipitate Procurement of Practicable Possessions

To: Proprietor of Purchasing Power

From: Problematically Pedantic, Otherwise Pedestrian Paramedic

Pow!

Presenting a proletarian paramedic, pandering, praying, and petitioning that the piano of print, the keyboard, partially pulverized as it is, be patched, or, if paucity of prowess prevents such performance, replaced. It is a principle, profoundly held, that peerless pursual of professional policy, may not be practiced with poor paraphernalia.

This publication, no mere pronouncement of protestation, pursues your perception that the paucity of alphabetical plentitude prevents the performance of providers' part in purveying proof of past presence and practice of protocols.

Not wishing to purvey a partial picture of progress, a posse of peerless producers pursues perfection, only to be paralyzed by practical proceedings, plugged by impediments, only pressing with great pains to pass the pitfalls plopped precedently in their path.

Being so permitted I humbly post my petition that the keyboard on the ambulance be replaced, as it is problematic to publish our past actions without a "P" key.

Politely,
P.P.O.P.P.

About this poem

This letter, not submitted at this time (as I need my job), was inspired by a workplace issue, in which the "P" key on a tablet keyboard on one of the ambulances was not functioning, and, the captain in charge of purchasing new keyboards refused to do so, citing expense.
