Ringtones



Ringtones

By, Kaushik Paul


Beware: - Written in a funky mood,
No pains, it will soothe.
You might find this to be super-crap,
But please, after reading, do leave a scrap.

Ok, here goes...

The mobile rings, when She calls.
The music fills me with joy.
The mobile rings, when my boss calls.
The same music does me annoy.

How strange!

The mobile rings, when Mom calls.
The music fills my heart with reverence.
The mobile rings, when my Mother-in-law calls.
The same music makes me pray for deliverance.

How strange!

The mobile rings, when a colleague calls.
The music makes me speak with all my decencies.
The mobile rings, when the salesman calls.
The same music makes me mouth obscenities.

How strange!

The mobile rings and rings and rings and rings.
Sometimes makes me cry, sometimes smiles it brings.
Damn! I need to sell my age-old phone.
And get a new one with more ringtones.
