Outgoing Message Sonnet
I went through an unfortunate stretch of making “funny” (ha-ha!) outgoing message for my voice mail. (Anyone remember those?) I was working on this one, but just couldn’t finish it. And then I got bored (or wise).
Anyone want to give me a the third stanza? Four lines where the first and third rhyme, likewise the second and fourth.
I find these voice mail speeches such a pain
And yet I put much time in their creation
If I were to allow my head to reign
Its logic would push me into cessation
The last quatrain is really quite a lie
I revel in the chance to show my wit
I love the task to top myself and I
Scoff at the critics who say I’m a twit
yadda yadda yadda
When will I tire of this parlor game?
When good Verizon trumpets loud my fame
