Mystery Phone Call

There it was a phone call
Someone asking for me,
I ask now who are you
Yhey just replied mystery.

I try hard to think back
Through family and friends,
I just start naming ones off
The person laughs saying it depends.

Getting a bit uneasy now
I demand from them a name,
With a sly laugh once more
They just said the same.

I wanted to just hang up
Please tell me once more,
I need to know who you are
Turning the handle they are at my door.

Nervously i walk that way
Unlock the door and then say,
You scared me half to death
My brother laughs and walks away.
