Ringing Telephone

Phone's ringing

No, I won't pick it up.

It keeps ringing

Ringing all the time.

A friend, a colleague,

A sales adviser, a telemarketer,

A wrong number, some irritating caller.

Poor phone rings

Hundred times a day.

Earlier I waited

For it to ring once in a while.

My father  would call

And his voice would fill the home.

Now hes absence fills it all,

Nobody laughs out loud, nobody talks,

Nobody watches TV, nobody listens to songs.

No phone calls, no long talks

Nobody's on the other line.

Sorry phone,

Keep ringing on, and on...
