And the phone rang yesterday at two o’clock.
I was asleep
as is typical
of my afternoons off.
I tripped over a beer bottle
as I rushed to the ring
ring ringing of that blasted noise-maker.
The answering machine
picked up right as I did,
while another beer bottle
fell to the floor, smash
smash smashing as I struggled
with the entangled cord.
The line was dead,
but there was someone at the door.

LOL Ethel, of course! After all that I had to.  It turned out to be the same person calling me.  Just my luck!
