Odd Calls From Odd People

"Hello!". In answer to the phone Caller:"What you doing?" Me:"I'm working"."What about you?" Caller:"Same old thing, this isn't Pumpkin is it?" Me:"No, this isn't Pumpkin, never been called Pumpkin. She must have changed her number for I have been getting these calls from strangers off and on. This is a new number for me and apparently it did belong to Pumpkin." Caller:"Sorry, I didn't think this was Pumpkin." (Several calls from strangers since I got a new cell phone #..)

Thanks for commenting on my poetry, cute poem, delightful to read, I used to get calls for a person who owed money to everyone in the city.. how annoying was that.. and no matter what I said they called back, so I changed my number. to get some peace.. Love Constance
