Scam Likely

My I-phone rang yesterday; it was a number I did not know
Next to it words read “Scam likely”
how many people would race to answer this one?
I rolled my eyes, glad for a modern day phone.
In the olden days we would have salesmen all the time.
Trying to sell us siding, cars, a new modern mop.
I used to hand the phone to a toddler until they hung up.
Made the toddler happy too.

Maurice Rigoler Date: 8/12/2021 11:08:00 AM I keep getting the same robocalls from Arizona at least twice a week! And at late night hours! Why can't phone companies stop these @#$% calls? Thanks for stopping by to read my humor. / Maurice Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/12/2021 11:58:00 AM You are most welcome. You can block these calls. I do.
