I want to call her

I want to pick up the phone
But I’d have to call collect
And that’s not what a lady
Should come to expect

I want to give her a ring
But it’s getting kind of late
My voice a little raspy
And my wit not too great

I want to buzz her line
And tell her that she’s cute
Alas the remote is lost
And the T V’s far from mute

I want to reach her extension
But I can’t find my phone
Clatter from other cubicles
Tells me I’m not alone

I want to ring her cellular
But the number on the wall
Was something, something, something
Oh darn I can’t recall

I want to dial her number
Yes! No more hesitating
But what if she’s calling me
And I haven’t got call waiting

I’ve given up on calling her
I’ll just post this poem of mine
Oh look she’s there on ICQ
I’d call her but she’s online!

hey Walt, this is real cute   I likes it much  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

For heaven's sake give her a call already.  Should we send you a phone card?  I enjoyed reading this.  Very whimsical.

Walt you baaaaad boy! LOL

I've felt like that a time or two,
But not for one on ICQ.
I hestiate to make the call,
I grab the phone and then I stall.

and then I say,

Oh, what the hell, you only live once!
