There's a saying about marbles,
And how many you have lost.
I wonder what you start with,
And what each job might cost.
I've bought some wireless telephones
They're not wireless for a start,
Who ever called them that name
Wasn't all that smart.
There are three separate handsets
To save my ancient legs.
Perhaps they don't get on too well
No matter how one begs.
I've read all the instructions
Some writ in double Dutch
There's lots of information
About what to press and such.
Which brings me back to marbles,
And what I need to know.
How many do we start with
Cos I think I'm running low.
