There’s nothing like a mobile phone

For us to keep in touch

A boon for all those busy folk

Who’re always in a rush

No more tied down to landline

Their desks are left behind

Out and about or in the car

They’re easy now to find

Except some will not answer

No matter when you ring

Hide behind the voicemail

That seems to be their thing

Leave a message at the tone

And that’s just what you do

You’re told to give your number

And they’ll get back to you

But sadly these calls never come

However long you wait

It seems it is a cunning ploy

To others just frustrate

Far better to tell callers

What this all seems to say

We’re really most important

So please just go away.
