The House Phone

 

Wire coming from the wall

to our plastic phone

Should we wish to make a call

listen for the tone

Connected to the poles outside

stretching across the land

We take this system all in stride

Isn’t it all grand?

Not good enough, someone said

this wire has to go –

So now we have a cell phone

to talk when on the go,

No more wires, no more poles

just voices in the air –

What’s so darn important

people talking everywhere

Had Radar had this little thing

he’d get Sparky in a flash –

and if generals were as smart as us

there would be no need for M.A.S.H.
