We used to stand by the wall-
When we made a phone call.
.
For the line, was in the wall-
And, it was the only choice
to make a call.
.
And then we able to move,
through cordless-
Sometimes, it wasn’t always
clear, but, we gave it our
best.
.
Of course, time improved the
sound-
And, then, oh, yes, the cell
finally came around.
.
We could then talk from our
car-
We could talk even when we
traveled far.
.
We could talk in the store-
We could talk wherever we
wanted, and then some more.
.
But, sometime out in the wood-
Our signal wouldn’t pick up, as
it should.
.
We used to stand by the wall-
When we made a phone call.
