The other day, I went looking for a birthday card for my mom.

I'm still having nightmares.

This helpful little suggestion is sent out to all of the large greeting-card organizations:
IF I HAVE TO READ **ONE MORE** NAUSEATINGLY CUTESY, PREDICTABLE, BRAIN-DEAD, ABCB-RHYMING-STYLED POEM ONE MORE TIME I WILL PUT A LARGE ARSON-RELATED CONTRACT OUT ON YOUR COMPANY.

Why can you not create some decent cards, for once??  No one I know likes those cards that go:

You're such a perfect mom, you know,
You've always helped me out!

The perfect way you wipe my nose
Just makes me want to shout!
loop ad nauseum

Please do us all a favor.  Fire all of your current crop of zombie rhyming machines, and hire a couple of creative folks for us.  

Please.

<edit>got the rhyming pattern wrong.  oops.</edit>

yeah, nothing beats the ol' "happy birthday mom, love <name>"
simple, and to the point.

And when people tell me what is OK and what is not, it should not be unexpected see, I extend my middle right hand digit and say "Hey, would you like a lemon or lime with that piece of advice, Mister?"
