Rick Rucker Poet Couplet

A Romance By Phone

A Romance By Phone
by Rick Rucker

The wireless carriers are happy, I bet,
That we don't live together, Yet!

And further, that we don't have the same plan,
Last month's cellular bill was fourteen Grand!

I'm thinking of erecting my own cellular Tower,
Then I could talk to you, free, by the Hour!

I'm in Love, and not practical, see,
But it sounds like a very good plan to me!

I guess the next thing is to have the phone implanted,
Which sounds a bit extreme, granted!

I don't want to make you feel Alone,
So I'll live my life, while talking with you, on the phone!

Diane Locksley January 12, 2011 at 11:50 PM Hey, just buy a "majic jack" and you can talk all you want for about ten or fifteen bucks a month. Seriously though I had a good laugh reading this and think you must be very devoted to pay high phone bills just so she won't feel alone. Best to you, Diane
