Can'T You See I'M On the Phone

(This is my second attempt on this concept. I wrote the first one so poorly that everyone missed my intent.) Can’t You See I’m On the Phone! By Elton Camp My cellular phone is my chief delight To use it publicly, I have the right But a few places where I have gone Have signs: “Do not use your cell phone” Free speech is a Constitutional guarantee They can’t pull that Nazi scheme on me I’ll talk when and where I please Ignoring restrictions such as these Equally annoying are inconsiderate folk Whose loudness makes me want to choke Although they see I’m using my phone They continue loudly talking, on and on Some even dare to laugh with glee That I’m on the phone they can see Some stupid joke the group shared To hinder my conversation they dared Therefore, this is my firm demand “Quiet if I’m talking! Understand?”
