Responding to your message by text?
Whatever will you think of next!
I have no idea how to reply in this fashion;
Mastering my mobile for this purpose is not my passion.
Had I been able to comply with your request,
In a manner that I think is the best.
I would have signified my* wholehearted assent,
And I thank you for offering us this event.
*Meaning both Mrs J A and Mr A T Shadforth
