When You're the Ma'am
Guess what? The power's out again.
And there's a big roach,
The kind that splatters,
Crawling up the wall. Ew.
And the power won't be on till 12:30pm
So we can't open the fridge to make breakfast
Even though you just worked out.
And the medicine you need right away
Will be delivered in 1-2 days
Due to miscommunication and a malfunctioning website.
"Ma'am you need to calm down."
That was me. I was the ma'am.
And they gave me twenty minutes on hold
To cool off.
Later walking the drugstore aisles
I chased away my cares with consumerism
Like it was the before times
Buying toothpaste, toothbrushes, cheap eyeglass chains,
And picking up my prescription.
I believe you have me filed under "Ma'am."
Ok. It is funny.
