A new service to our small town.
For us, to summon Dad,
When the mill went down.
Who knew about kids and phones?
Switchboards, cross-bars, towers, satellites, and more
Stationary, mobile, wireless, cellular, analog, digital too.
A vibrating pager's warmth in a secure meeting!
Taking a call at the soup and salad bar, or in the loo,
Alexander, what have you done?
Spammers, slammers, telemarketers,
Why are they all picking on me?
LANs, LATAs, WATTS, Third-Party Information,
Why don't they call it numbers?
Deregulation, selling time, who owns the lines?
Email, voice mail, touch-tone menus, take no prisoners!
How do I reach a live person for help?
What if the problem is out of category?
Reprogram whose computer?
Number please!
