The following was written in response to a remedial english class that my co-workers and I have been submitted to because some folks in Manchester are incapable of writing coherent sentences. The assignment was essentially to write a memo.
TO: Kronos Titanes, Supreme King of the Cosmos
FROM: Zeus, Neglected Son
DATE: November 20th, 2008 [Note; I’ve included a contemporary date as instructed by the assignment]
SUBJECT: Proposal for Change in Management Style
It has been determined that the current system by which the cosmos is governed is unsatisfactory and a redistribution of power may be required.
To that end we submitted a random survey amongst the gods to evaluate possible solutions; the results of which were most disappointing. It would seem that Mother and my brother and sister gods are quite upset with your current leadership. Your opinion that you are entitled to cannibalize whomever you please does not sit well with your progeny and we request that you desist. If you do not reconsider your method, drastic action will be taken against you. While many of us would like to chastise you for your actions to date, our anger can be assuaged by your compliance.
Please note that this will be our last request regarding this issue. We would like to be able to resolve this conflict peaceably. This appears to be the only acceptable solution. Consider that this may be the only way to truly reconcile our differences. Thank you.
I am vastly unimpressed with the class, but at least I can keep my sanity by turning in the assignments half a day late and writing about random subjects that amuse me despite the annoyance of having to write in a certain format. I will have to rewrite this at another time to see if I can make it more humorous.
