Recently Received a Call

Recently Received a Call

Recently received a call sounding like a winner
Wanted to know if I ever used a blood thinner
Before or after having eaten meals or dinner
Or of any type of drug use been a beginner.

Out of all this what was I supposed to make
None of that type medication did I ever take
Or some prescription being a forgery or fake
Also, before I used it did I forget to shake.

Sound similar to a call you have received
Where you really had been badly deceived
And at end felt comfortable and relieved
But still being all upset he had achieved.

So now maybe I might start taking revenge
For not having gone on a health food binge
Then my wife said she felt a small tinge
After she had started inserting a syringe.

Fortunately I began and was starting to see
The traumatic call was never meant for me
Thought about it for a while rather reluctantly
Call was meant for wife setting my mind free.

Has there ever been a time when.............

Mary Rotman August 27, 2015 at 7:26 PM My favoriite site is the national "Do Not Call" registry. It's been years and years since I've had one of these annoying calls. James Horn August 27, 2015 at 7:30 PM Mary, Now that sounds like a good idea. So how is the weather in Boise? Jim

DM Babbit August 25, 2015 at 6:26 PM It's good to laugh at trauma, otherwise, it might be too devastating. James Horn August 25, 2015 at 6:41 PM DMB or is that DMV for a driver's license. If I laugh it off, do I first have to cough? Jim Horn
