Is My Call Important

As My hands go up in urgent prayer ‘the question I wonder ,is anyone there . Waiting patiently and hoping for a reply ‘Is my call viewed as important ? I ponder the reasons why . My eyes are tightly shut ‘I’ll Tense just a little more ‘Maybe prostrating myself would help ‘So I lay me face down upon the floor . Absence of words or spirit struck I’m starting to think they really don’t give a ... I beat my chest and start to lament ‘ I shout my questions , I Start to vent . Just send me a whisper ‘ a symbol that you may care ‘I need those lotto numbers Dam it ‘Please answer my prayer !

In my experience, people are fearful of calls. The excuse that it's a sales call won't fly. I loathe answering machines. A voice beats a text anytime. Panagiota

G'day Simon … absolutely brilliantly well done Simon. You took my focused mind to a dead end, and then I realized I missed the turnoff. How come psychics don't win the lotto every week? Thank you Simon - Lindsay

It would be my luck to have to share the winnings with ten thousand others. I won a crossword once when a small newspaper closed . We did get our $1 fee returned. Great poem posted at the right time. Regards David in NZ
