"National Landline Telephone Day"
Today we celebrate the landline phone
A device that we once called our own
No more dial-up internet, just the dial tone
A reminder of simpler times, now unknown
We'd wait for the ring, it was music to our ears
Hearing the voice of loved ones, calming our fears
The sound of a busy signal, oh how it jeers
But redialing just meant we cared, it appears
We'd stretch the cord, trying to find some space
Hiding in the closet to talk, out of mom's face
A secret world of gossip, laughter, and grace
The landline phone, a part of our childhood's pace
Now we have smartphones, always within reach
We can call, text, and browse, with just a speech
But the landline phone, it still has a niche
A part of our past, that we can still teach
So on this day, let's remember the landline
The good times and bad, the moments that were divine
A device that connected us, in a simpler time
National Landline Telephone Day, a memory so fine.
