Making a Phone Call

Another long forgotten piece that deserves to see beyond an obscure folder in my D drive.

“The number you have
Called is busy.
Please try again later”
An unknown woman
A strange voice
And yet you have begun to
REALLY hate her.

“Please press 1 for english
2 for hindi and 3 to
Know your (very long) bill”
The electronic voice
Irritates you loads
And makes you
So want to kill!

“Your call is important to us
Please stay on the line.”
You are repeatedly told
Little does the machine
Know that you mother
Dusted you twice
While you were on hold!!
