Vengeance

Your call is important to us Says this smarmy bland voice So please stay on the Line As if we have any choice They don’t have many staff now Just a multi purpose call centre The logical result of the work Of that thrice cursed inventor Whose greatest brainchild was The automated answer machine One of the greatest time wasters This world has sadly ever seen. How many die of apoplexy Not having the resolve To keep on waiting for Their query to be solved. I hope that inventor met An excruciating painful death Lingering hour after hour Before taking his last breath All the time hearing Over and over again Your death is important to us We just don’t know when

Love it Love it Love it. You hit the nail right on the head, waiting "on hold" is what I dread! Great poem Terry.

Yes, those answering machine or automated answers are so annoying sometimes. Thank you for sharing. I know many totally understand this one. Sara

Thanks Sara - one other trouble is the operators, when you finally get through to them, in many cases have no comcept of customer service. Having waited for over an hour to report a car accident where i told her i couldn't hear her properly she just hung up
