To be on hold, can drive you nuts
Repeating statements, old music cuts

They make it sound, like help looms near
You wait and wait, you pull your hair

How have we lowered, to this state
Our time means zilch, tough luck you mate

I'd rather hear that busy sound
Than wait and simply hang around

As I type this worthless poem
My ear is stuck, to the telephone

I'm told my call's important stuff
It's been an hour, and that's enough

Goodbye dumb music and recorded voice
My patience left, I've got no choice

You succeeded in making me very nervous
Over and over, I think, What Service!

"Please remain on the line. Your call is very important to us. We appreciate your patience...and your business. Your call will be taken in the order in which it was received. A client service representative will be with you shortly."

You know, if we were sooooo important to them, wouldn't they hire enough people to actually provide customer service? Great poem!! I'm sure we can all relate to this!!
