Ships In The Night

I called again,
but he was away from his desk.
I’d called this morning
only to be told
he hadn’t come in yet,
and when I called at lunch time,
he was at lunch.

So as sure
as there is a law
somewhere on the statute book,
drafted by a man
of Irish ancestry,
when he calls back, I’ll be
on the other line.
