Analysis of Cordless



Cordless phones are really dandy
When you need a phone that's handy.
To answer you don't need to rove
When you're busy at the stove'
Or if you sit and watch TV
There it is, conveniently.
On the table by your chair it
Stays 'til someone needs to share it.
If you ever fail to mind it
When it rings you'll never find it.
