The Telephone by Edward Field

My happiness depends on an electric appliance

And I do not mind giving it so much credit

With life in this city being what it is

Each person separated from friends

By a tangle of subways and buses

Yes my telephone is my joy

It tells me that I am in the world and wanted

It rings and I am alerted to love or gossip I go comb my hair which begins to sparkle

Without it, I was like a bear in a cave

Drowsing through a shadowy winter

It rings and spring has come

I stretch and amble out into the sunshine

Hungry again as I pick up the receiver For the human voice and the good news of friends.

Answer:

The poem entitled Telephone is related to a real-life situation. When we have telephone, we can easily talk to someone or communicate to them, but the big difference is, we cannot know what their feelings and that's something similar to our lives.
