my good friends john lewis - well done

first and foremost this poem will cost,
a free shopping day will satisfy,
because the publicity i am giving you will not frost,
and i am sure again sales will multiply.
i will start with like for like sales,
and the difference in a year,
a 6.2% rise must send prolific gales,
but your suppliers really do produce top quality gear.
13.6% house hold goods did rise,
10.3% increase was fashion,
excellent in the last 5 weeks they did equalise,
the electronic department was most certainly not on ration.
total sales in this period deserves a applause,
9.3% is a outstanding rise,
i would like to make the reader aware of 3 new stores,
publicity for the best is my exercise.
let me get a view from on-sweet,
i can confirm this is on the third landing,
please take a seat with managing director andy street,
who told me sales were outstanding.
this period and the record broke,
hard work and there was no sign of the magician "merlin",
the total sales will make you choke,
133.1 million, can you taste the jl sterling.
the 35 uk stores were flourishing,
we the customers are a bowl of cream and jl is the cat,
we have plenty of goodness to be nourishing,
but most importantly we are flocking before the vat.
i am not biased but outside info is lacking,
Neil Saunders from Conlumino can be grading,
he said jl and xmas has been cracking,
and jl will stand out as a winner in trading.
there has to be a down side to all the barging,
jl partners are receiving less of a bonus pool,
because with all this price fixing there a loss to the margin,
but compared to "next" you are standing tall,
jl are cautious for what the future brings.
and this year undoubtedly will be challenging and conditions are volatile,
my prediction is around sales you will run rings,
which will make andy, workers, and customers all smile.
my name is joe and in jl i was in today,
i thank bbc, its how i produced this speech,
that's why i no all is true in what i say,
and i am pleased to say jl is in everyone's reach.


(if you can find a better shop then this - speak now ?)
