Description 'Bong' goes the phone
All day long

Long into the night
Continually interrupting
Unexpected and unwanted,
The night drones on

Yet another person
To vent and complain
Ignoring my dialogue
As if I'm stupid

There is no escape
This cable is my leash
These walls make my cell
Imprisioned by ignorance

For this is my job

Barely waking from my daze
The problem is solved
The caller is happy
On to the next

Sometimes I wonder
If it's really worth it
These people are rude
Unappreciative and angry

Each time there's a new one
I hope that they're nice
The rudeness of some
Outweighs the polite

I want to get out
But there's nowhere to go

For this is my job

'Bong' goes the phone
All day long

it seems as monotonous and leaden as the calls and job.


im not sure if that is a good thing?

it reads like a recipe, a phonebook, the bible.

it reads like a telemarketer's sales pitch.


i think i like it.


its too original and too real and too much like you're telling me what your job is aside from a creative piece.



hm.....

It explains well your frustrations with your job. I don't think I could handle any telephone oriented job without cursing out the rude bastards ;p

People seem to have no idea that you are only doing your job.

Nice, really gives the feeling of frustration you would feel when dealing with irate people.
