Maizy thought she’d hit the gold
when something caught her eye
A shiny sort of stick-like thing
that pointed toward the sky
She picked it up and to her awe
She thought it was a bone
But when she brought it to her ear
She learned it was a phone
It had a cord, all curly-cue
With plastic at one end
And mama told her when she got home
It was used to call a friend!
