Telephone trucks tend to visit this area often

And they're always leaving debris behind them

Wires and plastic racks, and wood splinters

All torn off the top of phone poles thru winter



Wherever they've been, there's something fresh

Even on top of new snow, they've made a mess

It seems as though they are always here busy

Which makes me wonder why they get in a tizzy



When signs are placed on poles requesting clean

- Areas be left behind them - not really at all mean

Quite a chore picking up the debris they leave behind

It's a wonder why they don't bother, maybe it's because

                                          they're just blind ....
