 by Langston Hughes

    You say I O.K.ed

    LONG DISTANCE?

    O.K.ed it when?

    My goodness, Central

    That was then!

    I'm mad and disgusted

    With that Negro now.

    I don't pay no REVERSED

    CHARGES nohow.

    You say, I will pay it

    Else you'll take out my phone?

    You better let

    My phone alone.

    I didn't ask him

    To telephone me.

    Roscoe knows darn well

    LONG DISTANCE

    Ain't free.

    If I ever catch him,

    Lawd, have pity!

    Calling me up

    From Kansas City.

    Just to say he loves me!

    I knowed that was so.

    Why didn't he tell me some'n

    I don't know?

    For instance, what can

    Them other girls do

    That Alberta K. Johnson

    Can't do——and more, too?

    What's that, Central?

    You say you don't care

    Nothing about my

    Private affair?

    Well, even less about your

    PHONE BILL, does I care!

    Un-humm-m! . . . Yes!

    You say I gave my O.K.?

    Well, that O.K. you may keep

    But I sure ain't gonna pay!
