風雅投訴吟詩對答

英國大學生布斯凱特及貝基，因在超市買不到心愛的鹹味爆谷，耿耿於懷，遂寫下一首押韻的十四行詩，向超市主席表示失望之情。豈料超市主席幽默感十足，也寫了一首押韻詩回覆，並送上購物禮券。因為爆谷而以詩往來的雅事迅即熱爆網絡。

我的心靈失去撫慰了，當我走到擺放爆谷架前

我的喉嚨噎住了，當我知道心愛事物不再出現

I found no real solace to my upset When I went to the shelf popcorn sits on,

And just found the lump in my throat you get When something you love is there, then it's gone

我夢醒後請補充貨源

鹽是我受傷心靈的生命之泉

Let this be a dream. Restock when I wake,

這情況並非我們所樂見的

不過我們的貨架實在太逼

The product in question is not one they chase,

Just when on offer, as limited space

親愛的女士請別哭

我們未來仍有很多年會賣你愛的爆谷

Dear ladies please dry your tears,

We'll still sell your popcorn for many more years

唯一是你可能要踏上旅途

找尋你的真愛並揭示這味道

The only thing is that you may need to travel,

To find your true love for this tale to unravel

艷陽升起時請你重現微笑

你不用擔心一無所有上路了

Please smile again 'cos the sun's coming out,

You don't have to worry you'll not go without
