WORDS WITH SYNONYMOUS MEANING

TELEPHONEBy Edward Field

My happiness depends on an electric applianceAnd I do not mind giving it so much creditWith life in this city being what it isEach person separated from friendsBy a tangle of subways and busesYes my telephone is my joyIt tells me that I am in the world and wantedIt rings and I am alerted to love or gossipI go comb my hair which begins to sparkle

Without it I was like a bear in a caveDrowsing through a shadowy winterIt rings and spring has comeI stretch and amble out into the sunshineHungry again as I pick up the receiverFor the human voice and the good news of friends.
