I knew I was getting slow, when my landline rang.
On the end of the line a lady from a call centre
told me I had been specially selected to be sold
a brand new design of landline call blocker.
She was too young to remember
'Readers Digest' using similar sales lines.
I wasn't, but still I kept my tones civil.
I replied 'This is new to me, so how does it work?'
she soft soaped me some more, making hints
about posting the device to me, whilst I
politely avoided any mention of my banking details.
I realise now that my first question
should have been to ask the saleslady
'Would it stop calls like this? If it does
let me save you the sales pitch' and put the phone down.
