Your Call
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Your call is really important to us,
c'mon no its not.
Slurping coffee, chewing toffees ,giggling with your mates.
All beat it to the top
in the what is important stakes
What's app, messenger ,Facebook, even staring out the window.
Vacuous conversations, obvious observations, slutty inuendo,
surfing the net, or a magazine pages,
all take easy precedence
to the caller who actually pays your wages.
