Unplugged Answering Machine
I have updated my phones, all the latest gadgets, that is me
So this day I unplugged the old answering machine
No longer needed, a redundant old piece
Time for the old thing to be put to rest
It has served me well over the years
Keeping me in touch with friends and telemarketers alike
As I lifted my arm to through the thing out
I sighed, and said, tomorrow
Three long months have passed me by
Me and the old answering machine both getting older
Every day, knowing not a single message is there
I check it anyways
Maybe an old friend left a message there somehow
Maybe a past lovers voice, I will find recorded there
Alas, there are no messages for me
Funny the twists and turns of life
Me and the answering machine
Both quiet and alone
Who unplugged me?
