Simon Henstock - The Phone Is Off

The phone is off - no communication
No nonsense in my ears, no drivel
No talking, no chatter, no nothing.
No SIM card - I threw it on the fire!
No alarm call - Ding Dong the Phone is Dead!
I am free, beyond all point of reach
All hope of contact lost - I am at peace.
I am at leisure, free of obligation
Free of pressure, free of duty
Free to see, free to think, free to breathe.
