Robo Call

Robo Call
By Larry Linville

I just had my first robo call.
It nearly drove me up the wall.
Lies came flying from my phone.
And even though I was alone
I yelled as loud as I could cry
“That is a great big stupid lie.”
He hit me with another lie
And I say, “Hey, Wait, stop it guy!”
I was quick to identify
that this was not a real guy.
But what could I say or do
before this robo call was through.
I started pounding on the keys
I think it was on the “threes”.
All too soon the call was complete
and I was jumping on my feet
I guess the calls will come each day
and there is nothing I can say.
I wish there’s something I could do
and someone that I could sue.
I hope they call while I am gone
to put a yard sign in my lawn
instead of just sittin’ and grievin’
I’ll use that yard sign to get even.
