Robocalls

These days, deliveries can be made by a drone. I hate it whenever a machine answers a phone. They call it another advance step in automation. The only thing I consider it is an abomination. Now they have computers calling people pertinaciously. That is really something that has been annoying me. How much clearer can I make it by replying "no"? Why don't they give all these blighters the heave-ho?

Robert, you hit a nerve with this poem. I get robocalls daily, often three or more. My visual ipad tells me their names. If they're not people I know, I don't pick up the phone. What a nuisssance! Why can't congress do something to stop these jerks? Enjoyed your poem, and thanks for stopping by. Now I'll have to write my version of robocalls. / M
