Text Box: Hello. My name is Adrian Spendlow
And I am your 
Customer Services Manager 
For the duration of this poem 
Every effort has been made 
To ensure your comfort 
This product is wholly natural
And therefore contains flavourings
Whilst accuracy is the poet’s watchword
Some colourings have been used
Under licence
No F words or other 
Unsavoury additives are included
To be precise, it is refined
In the unlikely event of offence
Please accept the reassurance
That this poem has the 
Purposefully Limited entirety
Of 2 minutes 21 seconds
The optimum concentration limit 
There are 47 seconds 
of this poem remaining
And I ask for your patience
Research shows that the belief
That the individual has the right
Not to be offended
Is unfounded In law
Given that no precedent has been set
In Civil Courts
My advisors advise me
That further advice 
Would be prohibitive
And thus prohibits any
Avoidance of advice
Given also the poet’s 
Personally accredited policy
Of none marginalisation
Of any marginal or marginalised
Group, sub-group or indeed
Individual belief system
All reference, rhyme, metaphor
Or any such identifying factor
Has been eradicated
As an acknowledgement
Of the esoteric nature of poetry
And apologies are given
To any isolated person who
Had an expectation of such
In fact
In deference 
To the widely held establishment value
That blandness and caution
Avoid service complaints
All actual content has been removed
This poem is therefore ended
Any one wishing to complain
Is referred to the name at 
The beginning of this poem
Which hopefully you cannot remember
Thank you for listening with me
