A/N: For MaddyDell's birthday! But cause it's so late, I'm dedicating the sequel to Circle of Logic to you too! Only I can't post it right now, but here's one for you.
Have I ever mentioned how much I actually hate the
Irritating voice of that operator lady?
Who always goes
"Please try again later, or
Leave a message at the tone"
Because I know, no matter how many times
I try again
The call will never get through
Either way.
Still I press redial,
And hear that dumb operator say,
"The number you have reached is not available"
Well, duh.
Or I would be speaking to you right now.
Even though I know you are not, in fact, unavailable.
You just don't want to pick up my calls.
My phone's almost out of battery.
But I dial your number again.
The dull buzz of the dial toneā¦
Nobody's picking up; I don't hear your voice.
I just want to speak to you this one last time
So
Just answer this call before I hear
That lady's voice again-
Too late.
I guess I shall just have to
Call you again, but nothing
Seems to be happening
Except that my phone's battery is
Dwindling, with only 4% left.
Again, for the umpteenth time,
I press the call button again.
I lost track after the fifteenth call,
Stupid, stupid operator.
I get your voicemail-again.
And I try, undeterred.
"If you get this, call me. Please."
I look at
My phone.
The battery tatus light
Is an alarming red.
2%.
Barely enough for one last call.
Should I, should I not?
What's the harm/
And my phone rings.
A/N: R and R please! And happy belated birthday Maddy.
