Every day provides us with opportunities to celebrate. Today I invite you to celebrate the telephone!
Today’s poem is in loving memory of my husband, Bob, my favorite Telephone Man.
A device that lets you say,
Now most people use a text to convey,
Texting is progressive.
Suits me just fine.
It cost a dime.
When at the mall.
After hearing the dial tone.
When you got a busy signal.
Or the phone was used by their mother.
So, your call was a fail.
It’s a fact, I’m stating.
On caller id.
So that cell phones are mostly used.

The song Telephone Man, from 1977.
Kids reacting to a rotary phone.

Word I remember when I used to see those telephone stands where you had to pay a quarter to call someone.
Damn I’m old lol
Lol, old is just a state of mind. I'm young and I remember the pay phone costing a dime!
