The Party Line Eavesdropping Contest

When I was small they had what was called a party line Eavesdropping was fun and games We would hear Mable and Hazel talking about Clark Gable who none of us knew We would sit for hours listening on the phone Mable would tell Hazel how handsome he was As we covered the phone and giggled Both Mable and Hazel were married But, neither were married to Clark Gable Who was this mysterious man we wanted to know Days passed by still listening and wondering Thoughts ran through our tiny minds Then my mother said: Turn on the TV Clark Gable is on With disappointment in our eyes We knew no more eavesdropping Clark Gable was just some dream guy In Mable and Hazels eyes Contest: Listen In Sponsored by: Julia Ward Date Created: 12/10/2019
