The Operator
(In the eye-rolling style of one-liners)
Just remember, she knows everyone’s business
Even if there is a busy-ness signal.
She once butted in on Judge Atticus‘ secret Birthday.
She used the party line.
The Operator has known the Judge’s schemes for a long time.
He’s a real phone-y.
The Mayor called from bed, under his sheets, to connect to his lawyer!
She thought it was a real cover up.
She’s been hearing the butcher, Little Bobby‘s voice for so long,
It was good to finally meat him.
Sometimes they struggle to repair the lines that Sue Spence damages,
it really gets down to the wire.
She even knew what kind of pants “Legs” LaVine wore,
Bell-bottoms, oh, but of course.
She hates calls from the barbers, Barry, Benny and Timmy,
They always cut her short.
Don’t get a snappy tone with her like “Snappy” Walker,
or you just might get a dial tone.
