Are You Gonna Pick Up the Phone or What?
Folder:
Comedy Theater I was awakened by the phone
I say to self "Are you away or at home?"
"private call" flashes across the monitor
either from unknown ID or blocked ID
let's see....
nothing in the home for me to hide
as the Mrs peeks in the room
with a concerned look in her eyes
'Are you expecting a call?'
I say, "No. Are you?"
So after the 20 second interrogations,
phone still churns as my eyelids burn
"Could be a wrong number?"
"Could be a job?"(lol)
"Could be some asshole pullin a prank?"
"Or an emergency cuz someone's cell died and couldn't reach me."
Just pick up the damn phone.....
eager, yet pissed...I ask, "Who's this?"
'Can I speak to Anthony?,' is what came from a woman's lips
"Depends on who's asking, cuz he don't play games"
'Well this will only take a minute. I just asked his name.'
"Better say who you are. I don't respond to private calls."
'I'll say who I am. I have no problem at all.'
She only gives me her first name, who goes by the name Leslie
not recognizable to me nor the wife
voice soft and seductive, like it's a damn set up
talking to me like she knew me, as the minutes grew weary
"What do I owe the pleasure of this call? I don't know who you are! Callin me early hours in the morn, me and wife lookin all dumbfounded cuz of you. Speak! Who the hell are you?"
'No need to get touchy, playboy! I'm Leslie and I represent the First Financial National Bank Collection Agency.
your Visa card still has an unpaid balance'
the anger grows to relief
to why she lowered to these tactics is beyond my belief
to call my home with the anonymous source
and saying your name in a bedroom voiced force
but I'm sayin, to go through all that
and even though she apologized
why did she go through all that for $63?
as if the money was hers
good thing that anonymous call was a wake up call
and we now are aware of what schemes not to fall
