Answering the Telephone

It's cold outside, 
But I want to talk to a friend,
Without leaving my home. 
I know that, 
The best way to do so, 
Is to talk on the telephone. 
If the phone rings, 
It means I have a call from someone. 
If I pick it up,
And there's a dial tone, 
Or the operator's telling me to leave a message, 
The person I'm calling
Isn't available at the time. 
When I hear the phone ring, 
It could mean I will have a conversation
With a good friend. 
If the phone doesn't ring, 
I dial the number instead.
And without hesitation, 
The line will reach its destination
So I can call my friend. 
Even though my phone is 
Old-fashioned 
And not very relevant,
It's still useful for making phone calls.
Old or new, 
Cord or no cord, 
With a screen or no screen, 
I'm able to make calls,
No matter what size or shape my phone is. 
When I call someone on the phone, 
I know that I'm never alone. 
Don't hang up. 
Please stay on the line. 
I want to have a good conversation. 
I always wonder who I will call 
The second I answer 
The telephone.
