Signor Marconi says that wireless telephony will soon be commercially available between England and Australia.

(Are you there?)  I'll ring up Johnson and impart this wondrous news;
   For he's mad about telephony, I know.
So I'd like to give a tinkle -- (Are you there?) and get his views
   On -- (Oh, give me Central seven four six O).

To telephone to England!  It's amazing!  (Are you there?)
   It's astounding -- (What?  O four six seven?  No!!)
This invention -- (I want Central! Seven four - I didn't swear!
   I don't want -- I want seven four six O.)

(Are you there?)  When I tell Johnson --
      (What?  I don't want Winsor!  No!!
   I want --)  I'll give it up.  It's got me beat!
And we may be 'phoning England in a few short months or so;
   But I can't get Johnson just across the street.
