Telephone Giggles
The black alien,
Brought by the war situation,
Lacking in characteristic irish accent;
Scanning to find accommodation
In the pages of newspapers.
 
Rushes to the phone booth,
Having found suitable ones;
Picked the receiver,
And number dialled.
Following the dial tone,
Rang out a voice on the other end.
 
Happy to make known his demands
Met with an expression almost become
Used to"It is gone."
Felt completely dejected
Having tried in similar vein
All to no avail.
The background at the other end
Was filled with chuckles and giggles
