If someone rings me on fixed phone
And finds that I am not at home
Their number comes up on my screen;
So, I check to see who’s been.
Without a message, I am lost
Perhaps a scam call – so it’s tossed;
Friends leave a message – I call back
Because it’s nice to have a chat.
If urgent, people call again
Or at the least, leave me their name …
But rogue calls do not float my boat
Robotic dialling is no joke.
The red light flashes on my phone
Another number - quite unknown;
Though tempted, I shall not call back;
The smartest ploy: do not react!
