I have a red telephone box
Placed within my room
It's in the same tradition
As the red Victorian style post box
At the top of my road
The post box is functional
My telephone box is not
The immediate obvious problem
Is that it has no phone
The second problem
It has no windows
Which wouldn't matter in nice weather
But not so good in a winter storm
And besides, without the windows
There'd be no privacy
The third, and perhaps, the biggest issue
It's only about the twentieth of the size
And is in fact
A red metal novelty thingy
But would be suitable for
Pixies
That's assuming, that Pixies
Would have any use for a telephone box
As unlike myself
I imagine that most fairy folk
Now have smart phones
So ive cancelled my request
For a telephone engineer
And glazier
And will now, perhaps
Plant some phoney Peonies within it
Or use it as a bird feeder....
