THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

It seems you love your might to flaunt While I indignant grow ; You keep it up, this tiresome taunt, ‘ Hello, hello, hello!’ No doubt you smilingly deride My wrathful words that flow. ’Tis sad that time you’ve not applied To learning years ago, To say a few short words beside ‘ Hello, hello, hello !’
