Damned Telemarketers Poem by Grace Hays

i really hate the way telemarketers
call both day and nite
just to try and get you to buy
things you really don't need
half the time they hang up
before you even get hello out of your mouth
wish they would stop calling
i've been a telemarketer
so i know what their job is like
but i hated the outbound side of it
the inbound wasn't so bad
just had to take the customers orders
sometimes even got to be
customer service and explain
why things were the way were
so why can't these damned telemarketers
just leave me alone
