Morning Support

I said my name and my address
My SSN, my cause of distress,
And received the counseling
Of choppy jazz and a telephone ring.

A computer graciously took my call
And presented me with options, all
Irrelevant to my concern.
IT just wants the world to burn.

A half-hour later, I just lied
To get a human on the inside
To transfer me where relevant.
Off to China I was sent

Where a friendly native, “Joe,”
Quickly showed me where to go.
I sent an email, and right away
Was told to call, and to have a nice day.

I made up an answer and called it good.
What I go through for firewood…
