The American 767

Caller ID the Sliced Bread of Electronics

you need not note you are home;
‘Hello’ ...pause...”Please leave your
very important message.”

Note: Telephone etiquette has changed.
Just because you are home does not mean
you have to answer your phone, which is your tool.
And one does not need to identify themselves first,
especially to telemarketers.  

Inspired by: have a simple, direct message
on your answering machine.

Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the
practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence
of everything you encounter.

Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations

into practice, for me.  Also, I am going in my own order.
