Dear So and So

[DebW]

Dear Building and Grounds Manager,

Why, oh why, did you cut down the blueberry bushes outside the office? They had small green berries on them 2 weeks ago. I was hoping for a ripe berry today. But the bushes have been eliminated, chopped down, removed. Why??? Surely they were not in anyone's way, down there by the road on the side of the drive, inside the circle of manicured groundcover and poison ivy. For your information, I must have picked 20 quarts of blueberries off those two bushed last summer, and I shared them with everyone in my office (after I ate my fill of course - you can't expect them ALL to go in the picking bowl). Those berry bushes produced from early July until early September last year. If I got hungry at work and didn't have anything to eat, all I had to do was walk outside and pick berries. They were delicious, and nourishing, and full of anti-oxidants. Did you even realize that they were blueberry bushes before you had them cut down? I bet you didn't even tell the poor schmucks cutting them about the poison ivy.

Your truly,
A building tenant who is going to be hungry and grumpy this summer
