Sitting on my arse , i gaze at the phone.
It never alerts me,, guess im alone.
I pay rental bills, a waste of money.
Would be ok if someone phoned and said 'honey'
But wait its fine, a call from john in Spain.
Never thought i would hear his voice again.
Now aunt Pat's phoning here from Dubai.
Two family calls, think i'm going to cry.
On recollection brother Alan got through.
A couple of days earlier, he's honest and true.
Then Martin from the past phoned my old address.
He will call soon so i mustn't be depressed.
Silly how we yearn for a human voice.
Though not the salesmans, he's not my choice.
Lets have a good natter with the folks we adore.
Share the gossip, ... ''oh phone'' ... please once more.
