Truly Long Distance

Me being rude to me on the phone!

 

 

A long-forgotten phone number made

 

Me mess around by calling it, just

 

To see who might answer

 

"Hello?" a voice answered after two or three rings

 

I almost dropped the phone in shock,

 

For it was me!  "How is this even possible?"

 

"Look," he said, "Whatever this is,

 

I'll tell you right now, I ain't buying s**t!"

 

Sure sounded like me, but no way,

 

This was impossible!  "I'm not selling anything,

 

Is this Mike Stevens?"

 

"Ye-eah, who is calling please?"

 

This was unbelievable!  Here I was,

 

Talking to myself.  "Mike, you'd better sit down;

 

Are you sitting?"

 

"Look, whoever you are, f**k off!"

 

Now that was definitely me!

 

"Mike, you're not going to believe this, but it's me,

 

That is to say you!"

 

Dead air, and then, "You're right.

 

I don't believe it; look, go run whatever

 

Bullshit scam you're running on somebody else!"

 

Then I heard a 'click'; I had hung up on myself!

 

Why oh why have I always been a non-trusting

 

dude?  Just think of all the grief I could

 

Have saved myself, if only I'd have listened?

Thank you much, Ron!

Your very welcome Michael.

Well I don't think I would listen if I was called by "myself" either.If we knew how our life would end up and tried to stop ourselves from making some of the dumbass decisions we have would be cool but cheating in a way.Perhaps it would change and make everything even worse :)

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, you're probably right, although it's hard for me to imagine my life any more F-ed up than it already is; lol!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Every one thinks that.I am sure it isn't that bad Mikey :)

[Michael Stevens]

No, probably not, but it's good for a cheap laugh!

[Vidya Bacchus]

A cheap laugh indeed lol
