Susan Ends a Loud Cell Phone Conversation

Susan Ends a Loud Cell Phone Conversation

By Elton Camp

Susan was riding the train home at the end of the day
She wasn’t interested to hear what a man had to say

He made absolutely no effort to keep his voice down
So what he had to say was heard by all those around

“Hello dear, it’s Peter and I sure am running late.
No, with my secretary I certainly didn’t have a date.”

It was along the same lines, Peter droned on and on
Trying to act innocent with his wife over the phone

Finally, Susan called out with a voice so demure, 
But made it loud enough for the man’s wife to hear

“Peter, hang up that silly phone and come back to bed.”
That ended the conversation & made his face turn red

Funny, and it certainly plants a seed -- I'm sure this ploy will be tried by several when faced with the same situation in the future. I enjoyed your poem.

Hey Leo, I appreciate your comment. It is possible to talk discretely on a phone in public, but some people don't even try. Elton
