Ah, the telephone, generally a useful device
to connect the communication gap. The ring
or programmed melody, and I answer with,
Hello.
Either I recognize the voice or respond,
Who is this? Either I am not interested or
continue with the call.
When done, I finish with an ending salutation,
Goodbye or a simple, Bye. And that’s that until
the next time.
Should no one answer at my place, I have not
set up a leave message device. I was either too
lazy or dumb to figure that out, or simply didn’t
feel it was necessary.
If I know who you are, and we’re on friendly
or sociable terms, try calling later. Should you
be someone else unbeknownst to me, who wants
a piece of me, don’t bother. Nice try...bye, bye.
It shouldn’t take a smart phone to figure it out.
