My Telephone Week
Do you get plagued by nuisance calls? This witty poem written by Claire Baldry diarises a typical week of unwanted callers …
My Telephone Week
He called me on a Monday,
Said his name was Guy,
Told me of the refund
I could get for PPI
The phone rang twice on Tuesday,
The lady’s name was Dee,
She spoke of eco matters,
How my boiler would be free
On Wednesday I was worried
By an accident I’d had,
The insurance chap who phoned me,
Was convinced the wounds were bad
On Thursday my computer
Had a virus, warned the man,
If I’d just pay an online fee,
They’d do a special scan
Friday’s call brought surveys
Detailed finance questionnaires,
Do they really need my passwords
And the details of my shares?
Saturday at 6 am,
The voice said not to fret,
A special deal was waiting
That would clear me of my debt
Sunday…..it’s so quiet,
I am sitting with a book,
Sunday is my day of rest,
The phone is off the hook
