A phone converstaion trying to hide feelings of loneliness.
The butcher did it again-
He cut the pork chops too thin. 
         How do you stuff a thin 'chop? 
And that lady who moved into your old place,
has to be ninety, paces all night long. 
         I can't get any sleep. 
Then there's the mailman:
Only brings bills, bills, bills,
         sometimes advertisements too, 
And that new twenty-nine gallon fish tank?
It leaked all over the carpet. 
         What a mess! 
The man down stairs really raised hell
And he's threatening to sue...What? 
         No, for the black eye silly. 
Anyway the doctor said nothings wrong, just nerves. 

Well everything's great here. 
         Hope you enjoy your new life.
I'll take the old comfortable safe living. 
Everyone says to say hi. 
         Why not come and visit....They all miss you.
