Old red telephone box

I found an old red telephone box

by the side of the road;

I entered in –

it was working –

so I thought I’d give it a go;

I was calling occupants of random various houses.

The people that answered,

I didn’t know them at all,

and I didn’t know their spouses;

well, I spoke to them for a few seconds,

and wished them a happy day;

told them I was on my way;

I was calling occupants,

which I know is not that funny;

I don’t know why you laughed;

I was calling occupants …

of interplanetary craft.
