The Call in Middle of the Night

My phone rang at three am the other night

I figured it could be an important call, so I better answer it

*

A metallic-sounding voice started out

"You are to report to the following coordinates"

*

The voice gave a series of numbers and a time and date

I told the voice that they must have the wrong number

*

Then it used my name and repeated the instructions

This didn't sit well with me

*

I said, "Look here, I don't know what country you're calling from

but it's the middle of the night here, and that's just not permitted"

*

"Furthermore, I don't know what sort of bogus

timeshare or cruise you're hawking, but I ain't interested"

*

Before I could hang up, the voice continued

"Failure to report will result in severe consequences"

*

That did it, "So now you're threatening me"

I told the metallic voice to go fuck itself

*

There was a pause on the line, then the voice said

"It is of utmost importance that you arrive at the rendezvous point"

*

"Not happening-- Are you even a person -- I think you're a robot"

To which I told the robot to fuck off again

*

I hung up the phone, and it rang -- so I turned the ringer off

Damn those Robocalls
