TELEPHONE BOOKS
I heard the door bell and went to look.
"Oh, great! Another telephone book!"
I glanced at the pile already delivered,
And I wished it was legal to dump them upriver.
I wonder, but really I'm afraid to look,
How many companies publish telephone books?
I've counted, and so far I come up with five
Who pass out their product to all those alive.
And each one never puts it all in one book,
So, sometimes I'm not sure in which book to look.
If I'm looking for lawn care I try Yellow Pages.
Three pages of small print! So it takes me ages!
If I want Joe Smith the white pages should tell,
Except now it doesn't 'cause he uses a cell.
So, if everyone's changing to cells and facebook,
Tell me why I need all these telephone books!
Each book is at least three inches thick,
And they weight the table down like a brick.
With ten books or more I'm starting to glower.
Good grief! This pile of books looks like a tower!
So, I have decided to do things my way.
If they try to deliver another today
I will tell them all to go jump in the river,
'Cause another book here you're not gonna deliver.
