Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Quatrain

One Dingy-Ringy

One Dingy-Ringy

Blah! Blah! Blah!  One dingy-ringy.
That obnoxious ring-tone cracks me up.
Loud sounds screaming Blah! Blah! Blah…yikes!
Cover my ears with a coffee cup!

That, my friend, is a sight to see. 
Cups on my ears so as not to hear,
Blah! Blah! Blah!  Still ringing for me.
That dingy-ringy sometimes brings fear.

One day while in the grocery store,
Peacefully walking, pushing my cart.
I heard that ring-tone just like before.
Blah! Blah! Blah!  It startled my heart!

Rude and obnoxious, I have been told.
But I think it’s fun to hear him say,
Blah! Blah! Blah!  Come on, I am sold!
The blah blah is the height of my day.
