Dan Fogelberg is one of my favorite singers, and Longer is one of my favorite songs, but waiting on the phone after wading through an automated system is not one of my favorite anything. (Still got Superman Returns on the brain; it must have been very lonely for him out in space all that time...)
On Hold
Longer than any item list on eBay,
Longer than that sword was in the stone,
Longer than you could see Les Miz on Broadway,
I have been on this phone.
Longer than FDR was in the office,
Longer than Superman was alone,
Longer than any corpse was in a coffin,
I have been on this phone.
"Please hold." That is what they told me.
"Soon someone will be with you."
Now I can't recall my question.
Oh, what can I do?
Through the day, as the minutes turn to hours,
Burning time, I will sit here and moan.
I could be outside, playing games or picking flowers,
But I'm stuck on this phone.
Longer than any item list on eBay,
Longer than that sword was in the stone,
Longer than you could see Les Miz on Broadway,
I have been on this phone.
I am stuck on this phone!
