Ring Your Bell?

We were talking this morning about calling each other on the phone and I was challenged to write a poem by my Muse on the situation. I said that she could write one as she is an excellent poet, but this is just a bit of fun in the form of a villanelle.

Initially, I was going to choose a telephone song but Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" seemed a perfect fit for one of the lines. I love that scene in "Pulp Fiction" and the words are pure poetry. I also love the Emmylou Harris take on it.
