Ringtone Guffaw

I updated my new cellular phone
With "Bat Out of Hell" as its new ringtone
When it went off at mass
I let out a huge gasp
Then I pummeled my new phone with a stone

No doubt this happens more often than not!! (just heard a story where a cell phone went off in the groom's pocket during his wedding vows!!) So things could be worse, I suppose! Congrats on your funny poem, Joe!

Joe, Alexa and I were cracking up thinking of your "ringtone" playing in church. Congratulations on your win with this witty piece. The competition was stiff, so all who placed had to be in the top tier of both Alexa's and my rankings. Well done! Love, Carolyn
