The Death of a Telephone

It happened yesterday morning I was home alone,
I suddenly remembered I had to use the telephone,
I picked up the receiver and I put it to my ear,
What I heard caused me mortal fear,
I heard silence, silence in my ear,
This was really baffling it took me by surprise,
What could have caused my telephones demise?

Not putting it back on the charger would be my first guess, Don. Love the humor and I do know people who would have to take medication if their phone died:)
