I Don’t Want To Be Insincere On The Telephone Answering Machine

I don’t want you to grieve

I don’t want to be deceptive

On the answering machine that records messages when no one is available

I don’t want to be dishonest

I don’t want you to be depressed

After your pre-recorded announcement inviting me to record a message

I don’t want to be untrue

I don’t want to keep on lying to you

On your answering machine that may be a stand alone machine

I don’t want to be false and devious

I don’t want to be hollow and mendacious

On your machine that is an integral part of the telephone system

I don’t want to treat you like a fool

I don’t want to be two-faced and deceitful

I don’t want to be flattering and a phony

I don’t want to be hypocritical for you to see

Have your say
