Name, Bank And Serial Number.

Subject to interpretation
Communication
Gone astray
You might say
I phoned the bank
No need to prank
The lady at the other end
Wanted to be my latest friend
She asked me
Oh so carefully
"Can I have your name?"
What a strange game
I replied, as I sighed
"Of course you can
If that's your plan
Now you are Gary
How very scary!"
"Aha, good sir!
For sure"
She said
I listened with dread
As she asked the next question
Such a strange direction
"Can I have your phone number?"
Did she say cucumber?
Or was it slumber?
"Yes have my phone number
And call the plumber
So you have my number
And I'm feeling dumber"
Question three
From her to me
"Can I have your address?"
Oh what a mess!
"Yes, have my home
The street I shall roam"
So no name have I
Makes me sigh
No phone for me
No way to plea
And no address
I just have to guess
This really stank
A cautionary tale of phoning the bank.

    They take it all from us don't they? First they want money for the priviledge of having your money to invest and make a fortune on and now....now....they want your total identity. You poor namesless, numberless, homeless man you.

      Hi Delores,

      Before they take my computer, take my router, I will quickly type this and give the bank a great big miss. No name, no phone, no home :)

      Have a good weekend, Delores.

      It seems they are now stealing identities. Heck, they send out a letter to inform us of their mistake and charge us for the letter they send informing us of their mistake. Admin costs, evidently.

      Politicians look after bankers and let the vulnerable suffer.

      My hospital visits do seem to rack up the comments. Although, you get about the same amount of comments as me. Mine's a bit misleading because I'm still trying to comment to each individual. Instead of your way which thanks each person within one comment section. Did that make any sense. Never mind.

      Of course, this was a fictional phone call with elements of actual calls I've had. The bank I'm with has no branch in Leek.

    It's bad enough to get stuck on a phone call where the person wants your name, phone number, birthday, and any number of other tidbits of information to prove you're the person you claim to be, but when it reeeeeeally gets annoying is when you get transferred to another person... and then another person... and then another... and they ALL ask you the same doggone questions.

      Hi Tina,

      Why thank you, dear friend. Happy thoughts I send. Pat in the Hatt and his rhyming cat, would be proud, for crying out loud! :)

      Hope you had a positive weekend, Tina.

      Hi Catherine,

      Thank you :) And those telemarketers who always phone at the most inconvenient of times, which is all the time.

      Thank you, Catherine.

      Dear Manzanita,

      Glad you liked my beaming prose
      Parts of it get up my nose
      Like the banks
      And their pranks
      You pay through the nose
      What do you knows
      They ask a lot
      Some sort of plot
      Yes, call the bank
      Give them a thank
      Ask for their name
      Make them insane.

      Gary :)

    A word to the wise
    From one who decries
    Look out, dear Gary,
    For you should be wary,
    Of a gal who asks for your number
    And mentions "cucumber."
    'Cuz that veggie might bend
    And be her best friend.
    Sorry to be crass.
    But I'm one tacky lass.
    And this rhyme is the pits
    So I'll spare you and quit
    But this you must know:
    With a hug I shall go.

      Hello Robyn
      Your prose are throbbin'
      She mentions cucumber
      In her slumber
      What's her number
      Some time with a plumber
      Cucumber and sixty nine
      Anything that she does pine
      She practiced in the cucumber patch
      Doing push ups without a scratch
      No problem with crass
      And your rhyming ass
      You words went well
      I can tell
      Hugs back to you
      This be true

      Gary :) x

      We sure can go literal. Someone once asked for my date of birth. They sounded younger than me :)

      Hope you had a good weekend.

    No name, no phone, no home. The banks and the greedy politicians, looking after each other. Sigh, indeed.

    Seriously, I'd be locking the doors and closing the curtains tight. She liked your voice so much, she figured she'd just jot down your number and address and pay you a visit. So, if some lady shows up at the door with a casserole, stay hidden! I have sons. I know from where I speak!

      Hi Joylene,

      I have been wondering who that naked lady is in my garden. If she knocks at the door, casserole in hand, I might just reach out and grab the casserole and throw her out some clothes. I have been told my voice is soothing. Imagine that, eh.

      Oh, oops and yikes! I have not forgotten your email. I have been rather tied up, metaphorically speaking.

      Take care and happy casseroling....

      Just so happens I ran into a few Brits at the retreat last weekend. I understand brolly is an okay term, but they wouldn't refer to us Canucks as the Queen's Colony. Who knew!

      Don't you worry about the scene, my dear Gary. Honestly, it's not that important, and you have enough to do.

      Hi Joylene,

      Wow, I hope you didn't literally run into the brolly Brit brigade. Go Canucks and the Queen's Colony does rock, eh.

      I do feel bad about not being able to get back to you. Things kept popping up, metaphorically speaking again. I should now be able to actually read your scene within the next 168 hours.

      Cheers and brolly good show!

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
