Sorry, Wrong Number

E.T.
Kind-hearted alien
asked his friend: “Can I phone home?”
Elliott nervously replied: “Will it be a collect call?”

Wishing you the best in the contest as always John. I have never tried a Clerihew. Heck I just tried a Limerick the other day. This seems like a great form. At least you made it look and feel easy. Enjoyed the read and the best to you always. . Love, Carol
