I AM THE TELEPHONE

When I am not broke I am in the hands of a receiver. I have-A mouthpiece, but unlike a woman, I never use it. Fellows use me to make dates with girls, and girls use me to break said dates. Husbands call up their wives over me, and wives call their husbands down over me. I never go anywhere, but sometimes the company comes and takes me out. It all depends on whether, you pay your bills promptly or not. I am not a bee but sometimes I do a lot of buzzing. I am the bell of the town, and while I do not wear Jewelry I often get rings. Whether I do things or
