Bottomless Pit

                                by David P. Stern



    Bottomless pit, black hole, dumb stone
    I called up my friend by telephone
    A mechanical voice was heard to say
    "At the beep give your message. Have a nice day."
    So like a damn fool my message I speak
    And wait for the answer the rest of the weeek
    Bottomless pit, black hole, dumb stone
    To hell with recording my calls on the phone.

                                  1988
