I purely loathe, hate, despise and abominate the telephone!
It rrrrings when I'm in the bathroom, rrrrings when I'm rushing out the door,
rrrrings at the far end of the kitchen when I've just finished washing the floor.
And it rrrrings when the only one home is the answering machine
and I'm forced to play telephone tag.
And when I'm here, it'll be some stranger wanting me to take part in some stupid survey,
because my friends all know:
