Notes About The Poem

Remembering 1967 Phone Lines

Good old shared party line
The triple ring is ours ~ ignore others
Country living at its best

I grew up outside of Dallas, Texas. Our suburb wasn't fully developed so we had three-party lines. Had forgotten about those.

lol ~ we didn't have them long but I remember watching Green Acres around that time... They had to climb the telephone pole for their calls so I figured we were better off.
