Shyra awoke in an unfamiliar bed
in a sour part of town
on his mother's birthday, too
what could be worse
Cheap beer on his breath,
but two cents left in his head,
he picked up the telephone,
didn't dial, but this is what he said:
"Operator, please call me back!
Hold the line for me."
Just the day before,
she was in the cheapest store,
she had beauty on her side,
even said so on a sign in aisle 9.
"Operator, please call me back!
Hold the line for me."
"Hold the line for me."
