Ms Automated
The automated voice announced that
“You are next in line.”
If only you believed her,
Everything would be just fine.
The minutes tick on by and still,
You’re waiting on the phone,
Ms. Automated each few minutes
Tossing you a bone.
“Our service representatives
Are busily at work
And helping other customers.”
(So you feel like a jerk.)
“But do not fret – you’re next in line
And then we’ll take your call.”
Ms. Automated – wish I’d never
Heard your voice at all!
