oh to be a telephone  (  a  s i g h  o f   a  p o e m  )

…

oh to be a telephone

pick us up & dial

aunties in antarctica?

i'll put in the miles

i'll carry your spoken tones

distance? - fret not - see?

cousins out on ganymede?

pah - that's well easy



oh to be a telephone

this would raise a smile

no prank calls or perverts please

nah - that aint my style

talk with ease - i'm dog & bone

relax, chat carefree

others may be listening

but that's beyond me
