Pizza Wars

Out in California I set up my little pizza place that was shaped like a small tower, while the other big name pizza place giants, moved in on my business and had a lot more power, their pizzas were made as if on an assembly line with little garlic and hardly any toppings, while with my pizza I took a little longer to make, all hand made crust and a sauce that was to die for, they used all kinds of different ads and slogans to get more customers, while alls I had was an electric sign that blinked on and off "were open," then one day as fate would have it, there was a moderate earthquake, and my pizza place ended up slanting a bit instead of standing straight up, now tilting about 10 degrees eastward, thought I might have to shut it down, but thank God the planning commissioner and inspector said it was still safe and sound, and much to my surprise, I got frequented by more and more customers who said it was not only that they loved the taste of my old fashioned homemade pizza, and how I always warmly smiled and greeted, but also the new look of my now unique leaning tower of pizza.
