Is anybody else done with the lucrative industry of Spam? They hit us by email, text and phone and I for one am done. To anyone who reads this and is a pusher of spam, shame on you.
I am retired but work part-time at my church answering the phone. For three weeks now, we have been bombarded with the same company with the same message and I think the same woman. Example:
“Hello. This is ___ Church. This is Anita, how may I help you?”
“Yes, I need to speak to your owner.”
“What? Ma’am this is a church.”
“Yes, I need to speak to your owner.”
“Ma’am, we have no owner. This is a church.”
“Okay, I will just wait for the confirming email.”
“What??” And she hangs up.
The next time she called, we were in a meeting so the answering machine got it. The answering machine even flagged it as spam.
The next time she called and asked to speak with the owner I told her that God was our owner and he was not available by phone. She said she would email him. Good luck with that.
So this weekend I sat down and came up with the silly poem as I know many of us deal with spam, have blockers against them so here I vent my frustration. Thank you for listening.
SPAM
My slamming the phone did me no good
An aggravation that many have understood
They hit us by email, text, and by phone
A vicious intrusion that makes us all moan.
So many are fake, not real companies at all
Their purposeful result pushes us to the wall
Their greed to make money regardless of cost
It matters not to them how many souls get lost
The enemy we refer to is the enemy of Spam
Not to be confused by the can of fake ham
It’s the onslaught of deception to get you confused
Where you spend your money to make them amused
There must be a way to make them STOP – GO AWAY
They prey on those who think they are a good way
For now, just be aware of their lucrative scams
Before they drown us all in the trickery of spam
It is obvious to me that these people do not know the meaning of kindness or else they would not be in this industry. Nevertheless, we are encouraged to be better than them and to always be kind.
For the Love of
