The Waitron Argument

They call me a waitron,
A serving automaton,
For my “level fixed voice”
When taking a customer’s choice.


They say I act as a slave,
Another regular wave;
That I inspired the word robot ,
That my service ain’t got a lot.


I say I carry out my training
With a plomb.


I say I serve with many a
Linguistic bomb.


I believe I employ many tones
According to each new phone,
So each person I encounter
Is treated with especial wonder.


This I will always maintain
While thinking my refrain:
For our own inner universe


Is seen by others in reverse.
