Often I will wonder at the meaning of it all When texting back and forth is better than a call Could words be lost of meaning when not spoken? Today the phones don’t even ring like a bell That just drives me crazy and ask, “What the hell” What in the world is such noise by that token? Download apps or whatever they’re called Don’t look now but the phone bill has them all Did I press the wrong button or was I misspoken? Watch out putting cell phones in your pocket The butt calls you make can take off like a rocket And while we’re talking about this, “Just for the record” I did ‘not’ place a call to some lady from Hoboken

I like the old fashioned phones better, but you know I got a cell phone too and it chirps like a cricket :))

Yankee4you....I guess its cheaper...I still have 500 free unused NZ text, because I get free national tolls , but worldwide, it is text all the way...which also allows written language, rather than spoken and long pauses.....caused by translation....but I know what you mean....Kathy
