Your Call Is Very Important To Us

Your Call Is Very Important to Us

By Elton Camp

To representatives, how amusing that message must be
The importance of his call the customer will come to see

All our representatives are so busy right now
So that time to talk to you they just can’t allow

So irritating music we will force you to hear
In the hope that maybe you will just disappear

Your time is of no value at all to us
And we don’t care how much you fuss

Hold that receiver until you hand goes numb
Maybe finally onto the line we might come

Should we actually speak on the line 
Hold is up next if you don’t act fine

If we think you are some ornery cur
Your call we can always just transfer

So you now demand to talk to my supervisor
I change my voice—you’ll be none the wiser

“Your call is very important to us” is just a joke
The words cause the reps with laugher to choke
