Notes About The Poem

PHONE PRANK< SMILE

To Envoke a Smile

Focus on a plot, may you like a lot,
in this beginning so you introduce-
at it's middle you did deduce-
an end- is what you have, too produce-

Testing this out; you dial out any number,
ask! is Perry - Slap Happy News there with you?
polite voice on that other end said; wrong #
 try again, this is Tate, for heaven sake...

a little later; you 'call again' 2nd time
same voice; have you misdialed again-
you laugh, as you sound off; 'Right then!  
 I'm sorry to have bothered you' again...

'Last dial' to that # same voice, now announce
you had to know-asking, have I mispronounced
I'm Slap Happy News your reporter- I  truly be!
hee hee    " has any calls come-in for me "

silence- a pause, on his other end, awhile...
then right on! - you did produce - a Smile.
well folks all this is 'a PRANK 'also known as...
   conversation, frustration, aggravation
