My Turn On call

(listen here)

“My printer stopped working”
My manager decried.
As he gave me a call, early morning.

"What is it?"
I’d ask. Volunteered for the task.
As my boss, couldn’t see, I was yawning.

"The red light is on"
Came the holler down the phone.
As I collected my bearings, it’s dawning.

"It’s just out of ink"
Frustratingly dry.
Another yawn, this saga is spawning.

"Are you sure?"
Had me shocked. As I thought he must mock.
My 3 years with that unit, just clawing

“Very!”
I felt brave. Wished to say "Just behave"
But he said

“Thanks”

…

Then hung up

…

Without warning.
