Have You Had A Telstra Day
I had a bit of trouble,
With the phone the other day...
So then I rang the team at Telstra,
And much to my dismay...
They put me in queue,
That music was bizarre...
Waiting there for hours,
To speak to someone from afar...
His said his name was Peter,
What can I be doing you for today...
Are you living close to Melbourne,
Or are you just out a little way...
After we sorted out the geography,
He found me hard to understand...
I’m a bloody Queenslander,
We speak Aussie in this land...
He told me not to be getting upset,
He was trying to do his best...
Take some English lessons mate,
That’s when I will be impressed...
After we battled the cultural differences,
He couldn’t resolve my case...
He gave a reference number,
And I returned back to second base...
I scratched my head and waited,
For someone to call me back...
But it was only him to ask me,
Was the service well on track...
Just a short reply will do,
It will make my day there sir...
Are you really serious,
As my blood begins to stir...
Another digital voice,
Told me I should have my say...
Just a few short words of course,
Then you’ll be on your way...
Well thank you all at Telstra,
For this quality time I’ve spent...
The next time that the bill arrives,
You’ll get nothing not a cent...
