TELEGRAM SAM


from the ABC set THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE AND THOSE WHO LIVE IT

The telegram boy knocked lightly
He was new and nervous slightly
No response so he went around back
And fished the message from his sack
He held a message for the occupant
Who was now calling at the front
It was an elderly lady calling him
"Oh how exciting a singing telegram"
"Its just a normal telegram" said he
"Well sing it anyway", said the lady
"I don't sing the messages" he insisted
"Oh please" the old lady persisted
"Well this is not a singing telegram
As I have already told you madam
But here goes anyway" the boy said
Da de da da # "You're sister Rose is dead" #
