Ring, ring, ring, and then you hear this voice.


Thank you for calling, ABC Company of choice.


To service your account, please press one.


To pay on your account, please press two.


To start a new account, please press three.


To talk to a representative please press four.


Buy this time you are feeling that they are a con.


Moreover, your face and hands are turning blue.


Along with in your mind you start to disagree.


In addition, you want to throw the phone on the floor.


So then, you press four and it starts over again.


To speak to an accountant please press one.


To speak to an technician please press two


To return to main menu, please press three.


If you know your partys extension, press four.


Why would you need to return and begin again?


You think of hanging up, going and getting a gun.


Do I really need this agravation, feels like a coo?


They think I have nothing better; my time is free.


However, I know I really need service, even now, more.


Finally, you reach a live person, if your luck holds out.


Sorry, we are out to lunch; you just hang up and shout.
