Telephone

Telephone in Webster's Dictionary means - an apparatus and system
for transmitting speech and sounds by electrics in wires.
If Webster's Dictionary only knew what telephone really means.

The T in telephone is for the number
Of TIMES the phone rings and wakes you from
A nice sound sleep.
The first E is for EARNEST things that people
Tell you over the phone!
The L is for the LITTLE people
Whoever the phone wants you to believe
That they are important and big
The Second E is for my little EAR
The ear that has to hear all the guff
From all the drunks who don't know how
To talk on a mild tone!
The P is for PARENTS who tell their children
To call when they need help.
Parents need the phone to help them
Worry about their children, before they
Use the paddle!
H is for the HEARSAY you hear over the phone,
Because it is just information communicated by
Another gossiper!!
It is mostly rumors!
O is for the ONE to one talks,
You can have with a friend who tells
You it is not the end.
N is for every time your on the phone
The other party said NO to a question.
The last E in telephone stands for
All the ENERGY, we use on the phone,
That we could of been using elsewhere.
We all want to use the phone.
Some people just abuse it.
This is what a telephone means to me.
