Customer Delight Poem by Bridgid Patrick
Customer Delight
Good morning! Thanks for calling us!
We're pleased to hear from you!
Your call's important to us
So we've placed you in a queue.
Please find your account number and
Be sure it is correct..
It's twenty digits long and if you
Mis-type, I'll reject.
I'll lead you through the whole routine
Please use your touch type phone.
Press eight and follow with the hash
After you hear the tone.
If you are a new client here..
Press two, ..if old, press three.
Press four in case we've done something
With which you disagree!
You have pressed four, please wait a moment
While I transfer you..
And please enjoy, while we play you
A symphony or two!
Our staff are all too busy now
To talk to such as you
Your call is so important that
We've placed you in a queue.'
Time passes and the music lingers
On, and bye and bye..
My cheek and ear go fast asleep,
My wrist gets R.S.I.
But wait! It may be there is hope!
I hear a ringing sound,
At last a human voice is heard
After the runaround!
'Good morning, this is Ladies wear
And may we help somehow?
Complaints? .. Oh! Just hang on a tick
I'll transfer you right now! ...'
'Good morning! Thanks for calling us!
We're pleased to hear from you!
Your call's important to us
So we've placed you in a queue.'
This is great! Unfortunately we've probably all been there! This was really funny Bridgid. Love the humor! Sincerely, Mary
Very funny and appropriately snide. Yes indeed, these answering systems are so frustrating. I never seem to fit into one of their predetermined call categories. But gosh, it's so considerate of them to play music while I'm steaming - music always sound so good coming over phone lines.
Another excellent piece of light verse, Brigid. We all can identify and share this experience. An excellent poem. Warmly, Hugh
Bridgid this is absolutly brilliant, I am the worlds worst for getting caught in a phone quaue/ This poem answers everthing. cheers Sylvie
Bridgid, I loved this one as many can associate with this type of thing, you are going from strength to strength with your poetry, keep up the good work. Regards Graham.
This is very good. Enjoyed it alot. Love Gyp's PS 'and bye and bye' shouldn't that be 'and by and by'? ? ? ? Or am I wrong on that?
If this were not so true, it would be laugh-out-loud funny. I loved the come full circle feel that you managed to send, right back where you started! Love it and am sending it to myself.
Exquisite. Wonderful wit. Great understanding. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Tan
