Todays Phone Call
Hello. It’s me calling from a tree
From a tree? Yes a tree
Hello. It’s me calling from a mountain cave
From a cave? Yes a cave
Hello. It’s me calling from my bike
From your bike? Yes my bike
Hello. It’s me calling from a Ferris wheel
From a Ferris wheel? Yes a Ferris wheel
Listen. Can you hear the typing in your ear
No one talks from a phone can’t you hear
The faint typing of fingers so clear
No one has anything to say it was all typed away
