Ring Your Bell?
From A Conversation This Morning
We were talking this morning about calling each other on the phone and I was challenged to write a poem by my Muse on the situation. I said that she could write one as she is an excellent poet, but this is just a bit of fun in the form of a villanelle.
Initially, I was going to choose a telephone song but Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" seemed a perfect fit for one of the lines. I love that scene in "Pulp Fiction" and the words are pure poetry. I also love the Emmylou Harris take on it.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

There used to be little better than discovering that the phone was for me. Now it's almost always spam, lol.
I was wondering why you didn't reply to my comment on this piece so I came back here to check. Lo and behold, my comment is missing! I can't remember everything that I typed but I loved this poem!
