Step By Step

From undertaker to conversation maker
The callers were now all alone
The clickerty - clack
Of the Strowger exchange
No operators needed to answer the phone
~GG~ 

An Undertaker called Strowger invented the Strowger Telephone Exchange making the need of an Operator to connect calls unnecessary. The mechanism made a clicking noise as it selected the dialled number. He then returned to being an undertaker.

Days Like Today

It's on days like today when I've things on my mind, I'd have dialled your number and we'd talk for a while, We'd have started off general with the weather and life, we'd have talked through the family and the faults of 'the wife', we'd have nattered for hours about this and then that, by the end none the wiser but content with our chat. It's on days like today that it gets me quite sad, that we can't talk for hours but I miss you still dad.
