About a year after I had lost my telephone 

My replacement phone started ringing at odd times

But nobody wanted to speak to Lillian Jane 

There was an unnerving silence on the line 

I thought this might be misplaced humours 

But I soon discounted this explanation 

And then these calls stopped without reference 

My telephone suddenly become quite silent 

Until the final day of the hot autumn winds 

When I received a remote message which read 

J'exige le silence du jour
