Carl Fraser Poet Narrative

Phone Rant

The message relayed by the computer generated
  voice said my que  in line  would be
 approximately 20 minutes.
 So I had twenty minutes to think about 
what I needed to say.
I ran it over and over again in my head
All my rational arguments and opinions
Then twenty minutes later the voice returns
 to say that due to the high volume of calls
 we ask you to leave a detailed message
 and an agent will return your call in the next 48 hrs.
 So in my best computer generated voice
 I give my name and say, 
Due to lack of dealing with an actual human
 please be advised
 that I will be cancelling my insurance
 with your lame ass company.
 This phone call may be recorded 
for training purposes 
for the next time I want to dump 
a crap company such as yours.
 Do not call in the next 48 hrs 
as I will be out shopping for a company
 with actual humans on staff.

Poet Destroyer A February 16, 2016 at 8:57 PM Interesting poem, Carl. Not the kind of phone vent I'd want to be in. You did the right thing. I sure hope the next insurance company you find has an actual human staff. Enjoyed... LINDA

Wilma Neels February 16, 2016 at 5:29 AM hehe, this made me giggle Carl, but this is so true as well. We tend to deal with machines more than humans these days ;) awesome write Carl Fraser February 16, 2016 at 7:03 AM Thank you Wilma, had to draw the line in the sand on this one . Enough was enough.
