2. What is telephonic conversation ?

3. Telephonic conservation Explain
By Wole Soyinka's.

6. Telephone Conservation:
poem.
The price seemed reasonable, location
Indifferent. The landlady swore she
lived
Off premises. Nothing remained
But self-confession. "Madam" , I
warned,
"I hate a wasted journey - I am African."
Silence. Silenced transmission of
pressurized good-breeding. Voice,
when it came,

7. Lipstick coated, long gold-rolled
Cigarette-holder pipped. Caught I was, foully.
"HOW DARK?"...I had not misheard...."ARE YOU
LIGHT OR VERY DARK?" Button B. Button A.
Stench
Of rancid breath of public hide-and-speak.
Red booth. Red pillar-box. Red double-tiered
Omnibus squelching tar.
It was real! Shamed
By ill-mannered silence, surrender
Pushed dumbfoundment to beg simplification.
Considerate she was, varying the emphasis-
"ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT" Revelation
came
"You mean- like plain or milk chocolate?"
Her accent was clinical, crushing in its light

8. Impersonality. Rapidly, wave-length adjusted
I chose. "West African sepia"_ and as afterthought.
"Down in my passport." Silence for spectroscopic
Flight of fancy, till truthfulness chaged her accent
Hard on the mouthpiece "WHAT'S THAT?" conceding
"DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS." "Like brunette."
"THAT'S DARK, ISN'T IT?"
"Not altogether.
Facially, I am brunette, but madam you should see
the rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet.
Are a peroxide blonde. Friction, caused-
Foolishly madam- by sitting down, has turned
My bottom raven black- One moment madam! -
sensing
Her receiver rearing on the thunderclap
About my ears- "Madam," I pleaded, "wouldn't you
rather
See for yourself?”

9. Irony her reply.
How nice!&quote; when I said I had to
work all weekend. In the figure of
speech, emphasis is placed on the
opposition between the literal and
intended meaning of a statement.

10. Irony in this quote.
Quote:
Beautiful weather, isn't it?&quote; made
when it is raining or nasty. Irony
differs from sarcasm in greater
subtlety and wit.
