Phone Anger

Phone- anchored for hours
Scripted to like an idiot
Trying to find some answers
The whole thing becomes unfurled

At the mercy of computers
That know only what's punched into them
A simple answer to a question
Would ease my financial world

"Sorry sir, can't do that
The programne won't allow me"
"I'll transfer you to someone else
Who may be able to assist"

Three departments later
None of them real helpful
Problem not yet answered
And me getting very pissed

A polite but very firm goodbye
I hang up in disgust
Wishing it was a rotary phone
Whose cradle I could bust

If this is the world we live in
Controlled by computer generated voice
God help future genetions
Pray they are given their own choice
