Friends, what would Alexander say
If he returned to life today?
Would he be happy or bemoan
What happened to his telephone?
He’d dial a number to be told
“This call is being put on hold.”
The music he cared not to hear,
Would raucously assault his ear.
Would he hang up in a fit of pique,
When hearing tape recordings speak?
“So sorry, can’t come to the phone,
Please leave your message at the
tone.
Beep!
