Ring

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ring.... goes the telephoneAs I close the shower stallHmm, I'd better answer,It might be that important callAnd me with no answering machine,call waiting or display,I'd better hurry upAnd answer the phone right awayReach for a towelhmm it's kind of smallThrow open the doorBrr, it's freezing in the hallRing.. goes the telephoneI'm starting down the stairsTrying hard to hurry,Hope it's somebody that caresMaybe it's my boyfriendCalling to say he'll be lateFor dinner and a movie,I'm trying to get ready for this dateMoving so swiftly as I trip on my son's toy carTumbling to the bottom stepI'm almost there, not farRing.. goes the telephoneOh please don't let goI have finally made it, 'hello?, hello?'There's no one there, the line is deadAll I hear is tone'Darn it', I say as I hang up the phoneWho could have been callingMe at this hourWhy did it happen, When I was in the showerRing.. goes the telephoneAs I get under the water'Sorry not this time'For now I can't be bothered Written November 30th, 2001 © on Nov 29 2001 04:50 PM PST   0 • 14
