A Poem for Operator 399

When Character Shows, Show Appreciation

Through all my hassle
And your poor training
The phone actually was People
Life after the raining

in your voice

The Courage to take whatever came next…

Already got typhoon of his emotion
What’s left in that guy’s Ocean?

…but earlier you didn’t hang up
When I said to if you weren’t interested
in Joy and Justice…

Operator 399

So I sincerely believe what I mean when I say
I’m sorry in the most Willy Wonka way

Yeah, I know, they take my Passion for Crazy
Forget ‘em
I ‘ll go out of my way to thank you Brave Lady
