What If?

What If?

Brian never thought he would work in a call centre

When he lived in Germany he was unemployed

And while looking for a job he was forced to go

Work in a call centre and refused creating a fuss

I’m not selling insurance or loft insulation!

Put me on fork lift truck training it’s my job

Not some shit call centre 2 towns away

 

The stupid bitch running the training place

Offered to buy Brian a bicycle and he laughed!

You silly fucking cow retrain me on fork lifts

I need to renew my outdated licence

Not work taking calls like a fool robot

Half a decade passed and Brian

Ate his words working in a call centre!
