Flop on the bed
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
The number engrained in your head.
Vroop Vroop Vroop
Come on; answer it!
A click, a voice, hello, are they there?
Jibber Jibber Jibber
Fifteen minutes pass
Chitter Chitter Chatter
Another half hour
Giggle Giggle Gaggle
What's the use of this?
Jabber Jabber Jibber
An angry voice demands the end.
Click
Do it again!
