we're on a recorded line

my mother calls me

and says,

this is your mother and we're

on a recorded

line.

please do not hang up.

we'd like to sign you up

for nine consecutive 

visits for the upcoming year.

a meal

will be included.

there are no monthly fees,

although flowers

and a gift for mother's day,

birthdays

and holidays are required.

we just need you to docu-sign

on the dotted

line when you receive our

email.

do you agree, if so, press one

and we'll connect

you,

with an agent. who is also

me, your mother,

who hardly ever hears

from you, let alone sees you.
