Only a Woman...

I got me hired as a tech
to answer questions by the peck
For folks whose ken is less than mine
On a phone assembly line.
I got a call a month ago,
I remember, it was very slow,
A lady just had opened four
cartons from a leading store.
She said she carefully unpacked
computer parts and then in fact,
Plugged the line into the wall,
Turned ON the switch and that was all.
Then she took the ball-like treadle
using it just like a pedal,
pushed it til her leg did cramp
And got no signal from the lamp.
Madam, Madam, please sit down,
I will give you cause to frown,
The treadle that you did espouse
Is nothing but a working mouse.
The scream I heard was sure absurd,
I failed to insert one wee word,
From her lawyer, we would hear,
About how we were so insincere.
We sold a carton and put inside
A rodent which she'd not abide,
The competition would not dare,
To put a mouse in their hardware.
I laughed and laughed and had my fun,
I told this lady one by one,
the reasons 'comp' should be encased
and returned to store real quick, poste haste
Well, so it was and so it be,
And that is why I come to thee,
If you will give me one small lead,
I'll back to work, indeed, indeed.

| Laughing! It kind of describes me. I am a typical woman and I admit it! But I do know how to turn a computer on by pressing a button. (LOL) Now someone has to write a poem entitled, "Only a man....." Kie |

Wow, Norm, you finally found someone to
take a chance........on you that is!
The same thing happened to me just
yesterday, only in reverse!
I called the tech doctors for my Emachines
Computer.
First they said,"That will be $35 bucks!"
I screamed into my cell phone, "That's too
expensive, you jerk, I could have sworn I
heard your voice, was it you that yelled, "So
you think it sucks? I'm a tech now, I need
BIG Bucks!
If you continue to write such good and funny poems my friend......you can ask any price for one.....all the way to the end!
Great poem Norm

Splendid as always. I would change "we were" to "we're" in the last line of the 6th stanza, but maybe that's just me.
