She said,
"Thanks for calling!
This is a recording, but
Don't be nervous.
Our goal is to you provide you with
Excellent service.
"Please forgive us.
No one would intentionally
Overstrain you
Soon, music from the '80s will
Entertain you.
"We appreciate your patience,
And we promise you
A customer care representative
Will be with you shortly.
We appreciate your patience.
"We now have a functioning website.
Maybe you're still not aware?
Most customers choose
To do absolutely everything there.
"I suppose I'm implying
That this phone call, in fact,
Is what we now consider
To be an outmoded method of contact.
"But we appreciate your patience-
No, I'm serious.
Soon a cheerful and calm individual
Will be here to assist you.
We appreciate your patience.
"How poignant it seems,
When you know what you know.
You'll live in our dreams
When you go,
When you go."
He said:
"Thanks for listening.
Guess we both agree that it's
Never easy.
Deciding how to tell you,
I felt a bit queasy.
"Please forgive me.
Say I didn't emotionally
Maul or main you.
You've grown so much
You almost are not the same you.
"And I appreciate your patience,
'Cause I'm not another
Coldly uncaring Lothario
Like the rest of your boyfriends.
I appreciate your patience!
"How poignant it seems,
When I know what you know.
You'll live in my dreams
When I go, I go."
