Poem Title:
Poem
I just received my umpteenth robocall today! I rather enjoy fencing with those dudes and the nonsense they relay! I let them babble on, most of which I don't understand, Since the caller wrestles with the English language from a foreign land. One insisted I needed an extended maintenance warranty on my car. She explained the advantages of the plan and said it would carry me far. When asked the mileage on the car I told her, "675OOO miles or so", She said, "Oh", and slamming down the phone I told her where to go! Another feller called offering zero interest on my credit card. I listened offering a few "unhuhs" now and then, ever on my guard! I told him I thought his scheme was just a sugar-coated flimsy-flam! He lost 'interest' in me when I told him I had no 'interest' in his scam! A roofing guy called to state due to a recent hail storm in town, Surely, I must have suffered damage to my house and he would be down, For a free estimate to replace the roof, gutters and any other calamity. I told him no thanks, no damage, and he hung up with a dearth of amity! A chap from Timbuktu called to say that my computer was on the fritz. Now, I've had experience with his type and I savor matching wits! For only 400 bucks he'd repair my 'puter and have it humming in a trice! My 'puter is purring fine and told him to find someone else to entice! I consider my day a loss if I don't receive the dreaded robocall; I suppose, though, if it were not for them I wouldn't receive any calls at all!
