[poem written sideways on page]

The Telephone Girl

The Telephone Girl sits still in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. She hears all the gossip, she learns all the news.

She knows all our sorrows, she know all our joys, she knows every girl who is chasing the boys she knows of our troubles, she knows of ours strife, she knows every name who talks mean to his wife;

225

[continuation of poem "The Telephone Girl", written sideways on page]

She knows every time we are out with the boys" She hears the excuses each fellow employs; She knows every woman who has a dark past; She knows every man who's inclined to be "fast"; In fact there's a secret beneath each saucey curl, of that quiet, demure looking telephone girl.

If the telephone girl told us all that she knows. It would turn half our friends into bitterest foes; She could sow a small wind that would be a gale, Engulf us in trouble and land us in jail,

226

[continuation of poem "The Telephone Girl", written sideways on page]

She could let go a story which, gaining in force would cause half our wives to sue for divorce; she could get all our churches mixed up in a fight and turn all our days into sorrowing night; In fact she could keep the whole town in a stew if she'd tell a tenth part of the things that she knew.

oh, brother, now doesn't it make your head whirl when you think what you owe to the telephone girl.
