In case you weren’t sure yet, here’s proof that we have the best, funniest customers on the planet; customers who become our friends…and who occasionally write us poetry. Yep.
Who wouldn’t enjoy the rhymetastic talents of this awesome mattress-seeker from Boulder, Colorado–one Bethany Hentkowski? Read on. You won’t regret it.
“I was so impressed by my experience at Urban Mattress that I wrote them this limerick. Seriously. I wouldn’t have believed it either, but they’re really THAT good!
There once was a drowsy young biddie
Whose bed, to be blunt, was quite sh*tty
A fist raised in the air,
Her goal she declared:
“Find a rad mattresser in this city!”
To the big-box chain store she flew first
The salesperson’s lines were rehearsed
And that sleazy, faux smile
It didn’t hide his guile
Those high-pressure guys are the worst.
Downtrodden, she turned to the ‘net
(its omniscience hadn’t failed yet)
“All five stars on Yelp?
I need these dudes’ help!
Urban Mattress sounds like a sure bet”
Though the budget she quoted was wee
Rich’s cheerfulness never did flee
He answered her questions
And thanks to his suggestions
‘Twas delivered that weekend – for free!
The tale, well it doesn’t end there
Saying UM’s the best ain’t hot air
The new bed was too firm
So they bid her return
Of their excellence she ‘came aware.
Her second time in was a riot
(And Philip, don’t try to deny it!)
Entertaining, those guys
-and not bad on the eyes-
Her ideal (and ‘green’) bed, they supplied it.
Though limericks are poetry cheap,
Endless thank-yous for my counted sheep.
Word I will spread
(Once I get out of bed!)
Urban Mattress – the Gurus of Sleep.”
Thanks for the most creative shout-out ever, Bethany! Customers like you make us love going to work.
