ISN'T IT IRONIC ?
 

Isn't it ironic,
in the world we live today,
that my Legal service,
whom I've had only a couple years,
and pay only pennies a day,
can return my call,
the very same day.

The bank with whom I do business,
for well over 10 years,
and have paid thousands,
won't return a call,
isn't that ironic?

As a matter of fact,
you can say that about ALL,
the companies you have done business,
for many years,
and have paid many dollars,
I am sure you all know,
the ONLY time they TRY to talk to you !!

You've given them many years,
and many, many dollars,
and may have even given referrals,
and YET, when you need them,
they MUST think you have no choice.

And yet, many shrug and walk away,
and say only...."life cheats",
and continue paying bills,
and continue to think,
they have no choice,
and no alternative,
BUT to be dumped upon.

And yet they tell their neighbors,
and yet, they tell their friends,
they don't ALLOW anyone to,
take advantage of them,
but must look into that mirror,
at the end of each night.

Isn't it ironic,
how people never need,
and how they pretend,
and how they don't know,
but don't like to admit,
and how they care,
but don't know how to show,
and they feel like running,
but don't know where to go.
