Oh No! Not Again
In Life we go through some
testing times.  Here are two.
What Service!!

To hold the phone, can drive you nuts
Repeating statements, old music cuts

They make it sound, like help looms near
You wait and wait, you pull your hair

How have we lowered, to this state
Our time means zilch, Boy! ain't that great

I'd rather hear that busy sound
Than wait and simply hang around

As I form this worthless poem
My ear is stuck, to the telephone

I'm told my call's important stuff
It's been an hour, and that's enough

Bye by music and recorded voice
With patience gone, I've but one choice

You've so succeeded to make me nervous
Over and over, I think, What Service!!



A very annoyed Poetic Plumber wrote the
first draft of this poem while it was actually happening
Out of Stock


How many times, have you seen this
The sale is on, too late, you missed

And then those options, come in view
To try and hold, your frantic stew

That raincheck word, is often used
To pass on by, a worthless feud

Please check back later, may be said
But chances are, that jolts your head

And how about, those order forms
To hold back some, internal storms

It seems so senseless, to be true
But sales do often, make us blue

Why don't these guys, just figure right
To fill those shelves, for pleasant sight

I wish they'd take, a Wall Street walk
Cause they are never, out of stock

I would imagine you guys have some sales stories to tell too
I bet each one of you could find a few businesses to send copies of one, or both
of these poems to.  I think it's time
to get back to the list of poems page.
