An irony of English makes "alone"
A well-positioned rhyme for "telephone".
And so it was today at 3 o'clock:
I sat and waited for the kids to knock,
And no one did. And so I waited more,
And no one did at quarter after four.
So several times I tried to make a call,
To keep myself from climbing up the wall,
And when the doorbell rang at half past five,
In spite of knowing they were all alive,
Restraining my confusion, doubt and fear
Had made it kindof difficult to hear
When She proposed some sort of explanation
Of cellphones lost, and outdoor recreation.
My worrying had left a residue.
All evening I was still a little blue.
