Hang Ups

(for anyone who works in sales...enjoy) So… you make a dial; wearing a Kool-aid smile Feeling real good; as you should Only to hear… “Hello”; followed by a dial tone in your ear Shocked and confused; what shall you do? Call them again; pretend they did not offend? Ask, “Are there issues with the phone”; sarcastically because you’re blown? Me, I’d vent and joke for a bit; breathe and try not to have a fit Then, I’d hang up my “Hang up” with a smile; on to the next dial! Lay
