hello

HELLO,GUESS WHERE I AM?

WELL, GUESS?

I have no idea ( mumbles) somewhere abreast?

NO, NO, NOT BUDAPEST!

I never said Buda.....The Big Apple?

WHY YES!!!!!!!!!!

Are you okay?

A LITTLE SCARED I MUST CONFESS

BUT OTHER THAN THAT I REALLY CAN'T SAY

Are you alone or is there someone else there?

NO, I'M ALONE REALLY I SWEAR!

Does this conversation we're having mean you're

ready to come home and stay?

YES BUT JUST NOT TODAY

Alright, I think I um understand

YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T THE WAY I HAD IT ALL PLANNED!

How then?

I PLANNED ON LEAVING FOR JUST A FEW DAYS THEN COMING

RIGHT BACK HOME JUST AS QUICK AGAIN

and what, some how your plans got all unraveled?

YEAH, AND INSTEAD OF GOING BACK HOME I WENT FORWARD

AND THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE WORLD I TRAVELED

only to then call me up at 3 o:clock in the morning just to say HEY!

NO, TO SAY I MAY COME HOME TO YOU TOMORROW BECAUSE I

DON'T THINK I COULD MAKE IT ON ANY OTHER DAY

Why did you leave?

THERE WAS A PART OF ME OUT HERE THAT I WISHED TO

RETRIEVE!

ALSO, I WAS ONLY GETTING IN YOUR WAY!

I hate to say this but I think I know what you mean!

I WAS TIRED OF BEING HEARD BUT NEVER SEEN

touche'

WELL, AT LEAST SAY A LITTLE SOMETHING MORE

what and be called an insolent bore?

PLEASE, THIS IS PARTLY WHAT TELEPHONES ARE FOR!

alright, how about this? The next time you decide

to phone or tread across my porch's floor

I'll pick up on the first ring or answer the first

knock at my door?

I THINK IT'S BEST THAT I GO

Don't ask me how but yes I know!

YOU'RE REALLY A NICE GUY!

No, I'm not but good luck anyway and that was a nice

try!

GOODNIGHT

goodbye!.................
