Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 871 (In The Corner Down The Hall)

There used to be a corner-

In the house, down the hall, that caused a stir.

.

For that was where the telephone was-

Attached to a wire, in the wall, just because.

.

One had to stand in that one spot-

Cause back in the day, this is all one got.

.

No cordless or cell phone, to be had-

To stand in the corner, to make a call made one glad.

.

It was always on hand-

That telephone and the book, in the corner, on a stand.

.

And, of course, our most used numbers were written, on the wall-

In the midst, of the corner, down the hall.

.

There used to be a corner-

In the house, down the hall, that caused a stir.
