Who will solve the world’s problems?

Dear editor:
I’m not sure if you are aware that the thriving metropolis of Primrose is in mourning over a shocking development. I have been informed that the Primrose Pete’s Coffee Shop will close it’s doors forever on August 31st. The historic building will be demolished and replaced by a gas station. That such a magnificent structure should meet such an ignoble end is truly sad.
And the closure will have global implications. For close to 20 years the Primrose Pete’s Coffee Club and Think Tank (PCT squared) has met daily to discuss and solve both local and world problems. Recently we have given up our efforts to resolve local issues as a lost cause. But we are still willing to tackle the big ticket world issues. If PCT squared is forced to disband, who will solve the world’s problems? World affairs will descend in to more chaos than already exists. If we had more time we would appeal to the United Nations – the world needs Primrose Pete’s more than it needs another gas station.
It is difficult to understand how such a resolute group as the PCT squared could be ambushed and relegated to the sidelines. I am convinced that sinister forces have conspired against us. I suspect a coalition of Hamas, ISIS, North Korea, the mafia, the P.Q., the Bloc, the Democrats, the NDP and the Liberals. They waited until late summer when many of our members are on holiday or busy with farm harvest. But fear not. We are at our weakest but we will rise again, even stronger from the experience. The call has gone out far and wide to recruit new members. An exhaustive search is underway to find a new headquarters. The citizens of the free world rely on us and we will not let them down.

Yours in mourning but with stiff resolve,

Reyn Richardson, Mono
