There is something wrong with a a phone call
That announces you
can’t call me back.
Doesn’t that sound rather arrogant?
I will call you whenever I please.
4 AM Monday or Sunday at 11 PM
But you can never call me.
Further, I may not be immediately available
Even though I am the calling party.
You most understand that I have a lousy job.
My pay is buckish, no fringes
And a remarkable number of people like you
Who slam their receiver down when I say “Hi”.
Perhaps if the “unavailable” message were softened,
To “we can talk latter”?
