When the Phone Rings

When the phone rings, it's like a shock to the heart.
You never know who it might be,
or what they might want.
It might be something good,
like you won the Powerball,
or maybe bad,
like your grandma's ill,
and doesn't look too good.
Maybe it will change your life forever,
or it might just be forgotten in a minute.
