Answer Phone

(Performance Poetry)

Damn her to hell
I hate that woman
For she is everywhere
Yet nowhere to be found
Who is she to answer when whom I'm calling does not
Who is this women having an affair with all my friends

She is so forthright too,
Might be just as well I can get a hold of her
Telling me what buttons to push
Push one, two or three to be connected to an operator
Well with her information how could I not operate her
I'm usually as confused as a toddler with an abacus

Swoosh, swoosh, slide, slide back and forth
Have I found the answer yet dear
Fine don’t answer your phone, I'll ask your friend
She says press two for existing clients
Am I an existing client or a temporary interface
Sure I want to download but it isn't information

Damn her to hell, I hate that women
All ways stating the obvious like we can’t understand
The person you’re calling is not responding
I know, I have been married to her for 10 years
Yes I want to leave a message, but I can’t.
I will get my a*s kicked for talking behind her back

Damned mobile phone, shame the signal isn't mobile
We all dancing like Ginger Rodgers
Our daily lives turned into musicals
But she comes again saying "Unable to connect your call"
Not like a man to get mixed signals
I'll just send a letter and risk jail for stamping on the Queens head.

Thank you. Falls a bit flat on the page as it is designed to be performed. I love your profile photo by the way.
