Short Phoning Poems

Bert was in a phone booth
Phoning his girlfriend Ruth
To say their courtship was over
He preferred his dog Rover
For company...struth...

the cock made a call
phoning a clan of mankind 
from the top of his hill
day is here our visitor
has come unannounced
let's dance with her 
all the same from every 
quarter with all manner
of dance-steps yet unknown...

I SAW A NICE BEHIND AT WALMART
                               IS IT YOURS?

                   That behind isn't a loaner
                  She walks like she owns it
                   Don't think of phoning her
               She'll turn that behind around
                  And bend you upside down...

Journey 
Thanks to reality t.v and talent shows 
Everybody now seems to talk about 
My Journey 
I remember when a journey was going somewhere 

And reaching out
When did phoning someone 
Become reaching out

And Sic mean cool
Sick was what I used to be when I drank to much 

Or am I just getting old
And not cool anymore...

A train derailed, the newsman said,
And there are people hurt and dead.
If someone that you love was there,
Then call this number, if you dare.

Imagine if you had to choose
To call or wait to have some news.
The agony of knowing not
Would try what patience someone’s got.

Though phoning could provide relief,
For some, there might be only grief,
Discovering an act of fate
Has made their loved one doubly late....

Your two in the queue 
The announcement says
A poem I thought through 

Two in the queue, I laughed
My sense of humour going daft 

Holding music blasting out
Hurting my ears with this musical drought.

Your two in the queue again she says
My mind wondering by now
Why am I phoning, memory refresh

Five minutes have gone 
I'm still hanging on 

Its ringing 
The music I miss
Good morning can I help you 
I thought I was two in the queue...
