Out to Lunch


   Joe’s out to Lunch
     He’ll be back right away
   (Try again, sucker
     next Friday)  

   Joe just stepped out
     or he’s with a client
   Joe lies a lot
     But he’s compliant  

   Joe’s not in today
     So talk to Hank
   Hank’s not in either
     to be real frank

   Joe’s on another line
     He can’t take your call  
   All his excuses
     nought but stalls

Hello Gershon, yes all those excuses will get him no where. Stalling does not get the job done. My friend. Enjoy your day. /Darlene/
