When your spirit is in trouble, When you’re needy of the soul You can make a single phone call, Which is free of any toll It’s a little plea for sympathy that’s sure to make you smile There are open hearts just waiting at the number that you dial Dial 1-800-POET And relinquish all your fears That’s the number to remember When you eyes are filled with tears Dial 1-800-POET When you’re weary of the battle, when you’re tired of the fight When you’ve used up every little ounce of courage and of might There’s a family of friends who understands what you’ve been through There’s no doubt that they will write a special poem just for you Dial 1-800- PASSIONS It’s encoded in your phone Simply press the letter “P” When you hear that dial tone Dial 1-800-PASSIONS (If by chance nobody answers, At either option one or two Know your phone call is important and they will get back to you) When your overwhelmed with anxious thoughts, and overcome by fear And there’s no one in your family who's aware or who is near When you’re traveling down the river, Going round a frightening bend I have traveled that same river, Dial 1-800-FRIEND I’ll stop everything I’m doing, cause that’s just the way it is Dial 1-800-FRIEND Dial 1-800-LIZ Liz |

Though I'd love to dial a poet when I'm driven round the bend I'm not sure that I could listen to the wisdom of a friend. But I'm sure that if the rhyming is as sothing as your voice then I know I'd get true comfort if I made you my first choice. Forgive an aging poet who always writes in rhyme For replying to your offer while my PCs still on line. But as I live in England if I phone you when I'm ill Could you help a little further and let me reverse the bill! Great poem, must try the number, Ivor |
