Answer Phone.

Goldfinch60



I’ve set up an answering system on my ‘phone,

For when our kids ‘phone us at home,

It has a numbered calling system,

Just hoping that to it they will listen.

 

“If you are one of our lovely kids,

And find yourself upon the skids,

And are calling us to help with cash,

Press one and we’ll check our stash.”

 

“If you are one of our children bold,

And need us to bring you from the cold,

And want our comfort to help you through,

Press two and we’ll see what we can do.”

 

“But if you are one of our loved offspring,

Asking of our wellbeing with this ring,

Make sure the number that did scrawl,

Is the one you meant to call.”

        Perhaps someone is having a ball,
        But they may not be your kids at all...

              The very last was very perfect Mr Finch. I got a real fresh trumpeter
              Complete w hot ensemble Iā€™d encourage you to give a listen. The cat has the mute w a bit of a Miles kick and it evokes that 1970 peek into time.

                  Did you hear his muted horn evoke a little that fusion
                  Miles?
