PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I sit and ponder

My car insurance has run out

What do I do now I wonder?



I resolve to be smart

I will surf and I will hunt

From my money I shall not part



I clicked the mouse

And felt like a king

For a quote out of this world

As the website went searching



Promising to save money

And providing the best

Soothing a confused mind

Its anxiety laid to rest



What followed I cannot describe

It was a lesson learnt

An experience difficult to imbibe



I rang the first seven

To find they were from hell and not heaven



A sales consultant will be with you shortly

We are experiencing a high call volume

Your call will be answered in three minutes

You are moving up the queue

The automated service was making me blue



Exasperated I think I heard a human

Dared to confirm when he snapped

Can I take your name and date of birth?

And the post code

In a single breath

Spoke the angle of death

Ensuring he had the right person



I gave him my name

And for the rest I replied

I entered all this info

Pressing buttons

Why do I need to go over it again

Security,

See it might not be you



Now can I have your name please?

But I just told you

Programmed, the human replied

Latis.

No its F at the end

F for foxtrot I said being polite

Desperate to say no F as in a word

That rhymes with suck



So how can we help you

I want to buy the policy

Quoted on your website



We don’t have the same quote on our system

But, but, but was all I could stammer

When he quoted the new price

It was like being hit by a hammer



Argument and counter argument

Was most unproductive



I hung up and went searching

Three days later

There is no place I have not been

I have locked my car

And become green
