2 Minutes in Time!!
The phone hanging on the wall
Its 10 , o , clock
Its ringing loud
And I get a call…
I pick it up n say hello
The voice I hear
Is deep and low
But the words clear n in a flow…
I ask “who”
Its from you
You say I am bored ! what to do?
I say lets hand out
Take a few more frenz
So that there ‘s no doubt…
I keep the phone
And in a loud tone
I tell my mom
I have to go
I take a bath n get ready
Kiss my mom n my teddy
Tell no lie
N say good byeee!!!
