Lost in Customer Support Land
Hello...Is anyone out there
Oh me! You need my father’s name
I can’t imagine why
He’s been dead these 30 years
I don’t think you’ll reach him if you try
Sure, I’ll hold again
Another supervisor to find
Classical music this time
Sounds like broken chimes
Thank goodness another voice
only an 18-minute wait
What do you mean you can’t help me
Hold again–why not
I'll just contemplate my fate
Finally, another voice
You want the last 11 passwords for my account
I've only ever had one
Should I make up the other ten
Sure, I’ll hold again
Glory be! I’m 23rd in line
26 minutes later
The person I need has no time
Would I like to call back
Sure, I have nothing better to do
But could I get just 1 answer before I go
I don’t care anymore what kind
I’ve been to this deserted land before
I’m sure you know the door
There’s no shade or place of rest
Just a worn-out customer under test
Sure, I’ll hold again
Silence, silence, silence
Then comes the death toll
Your call has been disconnected

Grab a chair, turn a page, and read a while with me. I promise to tap lightly on my keyboard so we both can stay immersed in our world of words.
