Ring Ring - Ring Ring
As soon as I sit down each day
with my morning coffee and toast
Before I swallow the very first bite
The phone rings
Making me feel uptight
Or having my morning shower
Enjoying the warmth of the water
I begin to relax and luxuriate
The phone rings
Doubling my heart rate
As I sit relaxing with my favourite book
Enjoying the peace and tranquility
I wander into another world
The phone rings
I’m starting to come unfurled
On returning home from a shopping trip
Weary in need of a cuppa
Inserting the key as I open my door
The phone rings
Stop ringing I can’t take anymore
Now please do not get me wrong
I won’t make a dance or a song
For in the right place and at the right time
a ringing phone would be perfectly fine
So I know I must not whinge or whine
And be grateful that they take the time
For finally and at the end of the day
they are really ringing just to say is
‘Are you happy; Are you okay
Any chance of a sub 'till next pay day’
Written ‘tongue in cheek’ after rather a lot of phones calls
