Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

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?

Debbie Duncan June 19, 2017 at 5:55 PM Robocalls, they call every day. I don't answer unless I know the caller. Nice write :)

Maurice Rigoler June 12, 2017 at 10:04 PM 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
