"CORNED BEEF HASH" (IP)

I have heared of corned beef hash
but never a hash key
don't know how to use
so I dial a number
hello! hello!

A voice says I will put you through
yes, wait a minute
music is shoved on

I keep tapping the button
to see if I am forgotten
still the blinking same

Hello!
Press 1 for department
press 2 for books
press 3 information

I am getting so bloody frustrated
I am nearly constipated
confused in my brain

Back comes tanoy voice
"Your now second in the queue
Sorry to keep you waiting"

What!
a thing to do
don't they think
I haven't got time
let a lone the charge

Hi Julie,

it's very frustrating being held in a queue, I
think you describe it very well in this poem.

Thanks for the read.

Jenny.

Don't know if improves or not,without
exsposing to much.
Enjoy yours

Hello Cavalcaderl.
I always find your little tales such good fun to read.
Throw the phone away and forget about pressing 1,2 & 3.
Settle for the corn beef hash instead, much nicer.
Take care.

Hello! really thanks. I might
just do that,here we have mobile
I wouldn't want one,then phone in the
other room.some re-call button,then
answer machine I hate. I am not 21
so not used all of that.
Love Corned Beef Hash,must have tomato
sauce on,although tomatoes don't like me.
The Editor uses name Unique? at London other
night, I just laugh.Thanks.
I just checked tin spelling Corned Beef
two words and not one so altered.
Take care to.
