I bought a rotary phone

I bought a rotary phone
From an antique store
Because AT&T makes it cheaper to have a land line
Than to not have one and
Why not
Go to an antique store to purchase
Something
That was a fixture of the house
I grew up in
Only ours were brighter colored and
Wall mounted and
Relied upon
For
Phone calls
Which is why
I bought a rotary phone
