Notes About The Poem

This was my attempt at humor, you gotta try.

Find My Phone

I heard a ringing, it must be my phone.
So, off I ran, I was home alone.

I looked high, I looked low.
I even looked in the Freezer below.

I looked upstairs and down again.
I looked in the oven, then the trash bin.

I looked so much until it stopped ringing.
I felt so glad that I started singing.

Then I heard it start once more.
I was determined to settle the score.

The sound of the ringing was mocking me.
I could hear it, but my eyes could not see.

Was I losing it and paying the cost?
I will show you that phone who's the boss!

Hurray, I found my phone just in time.
Only to hear a telemarketer on the line
