Missed Call

Years ago, if someone called 

And you were not around,

You’d never know about it 

‘Til another chance was found.


And then a new invention

Called the answering machine

Allowed a message to be left

For someone not on scene.


The mobile phone changed everything 

For data’s always saved -

The date and time of all the calls,

The dreaded ones or craved.


A few are labeled “Scam Alert”

But many sneak on through,

With numbers in your area,

Like someone that you knew.


Yet if a “Missed Call” notice shows

Without a message left,

Assume it was a bogus call 

And do not be bereft.


And sometimes, what’s recorded

Will not set your mind at ease,

For I’d rather get a missed call

Than a message in Chinese!
