RoBo Calls

RoBo Calls
Miracle Man
4/25/2025

I’ve a strong dislike that now borders on hate,
toward those unwanted calls that won’t abate.

I get perhaps ten or so of these calls every day,
thinking I’m an “Old Codger” they can sway.

Its often about Medicare and always a scam,
her sweet voice has for me some new program.

I appreciate her having my interest at heart,
but I’m not a sucker that she can outsmart.

Calls interrupt my meals and also slumber,
once or twice they’ve came from my number.

These I always answer without undue delay,
for I’m always curious as to what I might say.

“There’s a sucker born every minute” Barnum said,
and many minds have chosen his quote to embed.
