Of all the days to live, the best day of all
is when I get to place
a customer service call
You can always trust
“Your call is important to us”
There will be some time to weigh
listening to the music play
Finally a customer service rep will appear
to give instructions that are perfectly unclear
While I deftly moan,
he asks, “Is the green light on?”
Or maybe, “tell me what you see”
as I balance on one knee
Is it this cable or that?
Nevermind it’s the tail of my cat
“Wait,” I say to the phone,
but it’s way too late you see
Now passed on
to someone better able to help me
The new guy might be from Yugoslavia
…or maybe Transylvania
My hysterics begin to mount,
He sounds just like The Count!
“Vee vait vor you…”
Now the light is blue
At wits end we stall,
and place that service call
“In two short weeks,”
he says without a smirk
The cable then, will finally work!
Oh gosh, yeah, I often have to place my husband on for those calls as he seems to have prior knowledge of what a modem is…ha, ha! And then, if you don’t get results, they tell you someone will be out in two weeks!!
Yes indeed. I have the added bonus of having to do the service calls at work too…I’m so lucky!
No escape!
Funky!
Funky!
Funky and sometimes frustrating. .ha ha
