Number 1 must be incredibly excited
sitting on their sofa or armchair
or lying on their bed or driving in their car.
What an effort they’ve put in so far.
They’ve probably just taken a swig of water
and let out a final cough, cracked their neck,
and lined up everything they need to say.
They’ve turned the radio down or off
and shut the window or door. Number 1
must be incredibly excited. What if they’re nervous?
Maybe they’re nervous. I bet Number 1 is nervous.
You are currently caller Number 11.
