Wrong number.A Poem by Paul BellTwo versions of the same mixed up phone call.Wrong number. By Paul Bell. She said I was history. Then she said she would give me one more chance. Then she said I didn’t deserve a second chance. Then just as I was about to speak. She said, I mean, who the hell do you think you are. I was just about to say. She said, this is definitely your last warning. I was silent for a few seconds. Well what do you have to say for yourself. This is a wrong number. What. You’re not speaking to the guy you’re dumping. Well why the hell did you let me rabble on. To be truthful, I sort of get dumped a lot by phone, I just didn’t recognise the number. That’s because you’re all jerks. Well why don’t I take you out tonight to get over the jerk. Get knotted, consider yourself and the jerk dumped. Got a feeling she’ll phone back later and apologise, and then take me up on my offer, and when she gets to know me better. She’ll definitely dump me. Wrong Number. By Marina. Hey honey You know how I said I never do this, but honey I can't do this anymore Who's that? It's Jeff, look baby I need to talk to you But- Just let me finish, okay? This is over Mary. I can't do this anymore. My mum was right about you. I'm sorry but- No I'm sorry Mary. It's not your fault, it's me. You're great. I, I seem to have it all wrong in my head. I- I love you Mary but you don't deserve me. Ok listen to me you a*****e- Mary!- That's not Mary. You have the wrong number, but it's your lucky day. Who's this? Your consciousness, but you can call me Kate. Hi Kate- Don't you even think about breaking up with Mary over the phone. No one deserves that. But Kate you don't know the half of it- I know that you're a mummy's boy and you need to start acting like an adult. Woah- Woah your a*s, you twat. You've been granted a second chance. Use it well. Do you think I should text her then? Hello? © 2017 Paul BellReviews
