Thank you, Madam, for Your Interest

1.  ...in the recently vacated,
Frankly overcompensated
Managerial assignment lately held by Mr. Sowsse;
You assisted competently,
Dealing wiht his "problem" gently,
And discreetly quashed emergencies in-house.
The appointment has been given Mr. Snaatt, whom you may know
As the son-in-law of Mr. Essohbie, the C.E.O.
We trust your loyalty to help with easing his transitiion.
It was a very difficult decision.

2.  ...in the advertised position
For "experienced physician,"
And your resume was most impressive; still, we feel we must
Give a chance to a trainee
So we're sure you would agree
With our final choice of Doctor Blowsie Busste.
You may know her as the resident with forty pounds of hair
Who wa chosen Pumpkins Princess at the Nuthun County Fair.
We appreciate your efforts in our volunteer division.
It was a very difficult decision.

3.  ...as expressed by your submission
In our latest competition
For the umpty-thousand-dollar "Poet of the Decade" grant.
Though your lyrics are delightful,
Educated and insightful,
The award has gone to Mr. Ara Gantt.
You may have heard of Ara as a whiskery bluejeanius
Who writes disjointed prose in admiration of his penius.
Please try again in ten more years; perhaps with some revision.
It was a very difficult decision.
