Kurrplop

I try to catch up But what does it mean To be bombarded by emails And Facebooked by teens I’m glad that my dogs Haven’t learned how to tweet For I fear that all they would say Is lets go out to eat My Mom never calls She just sends me a text “What do you want for Christmas? How is the X”? Dads on the phone But he put me hold His shrink is calling Seems all he has is a cold Technology is ruining My life as you see Seems I can’t have moment Even to pee I sit on the pot With my iPhone so close Hoping not to get caught So I did myself a favor And before I flushed I dropped the phone in toilet And it said "kurrplop".

I've heard of people accidentally dropping their cellphone in the commode.... It's very witty write all the way through to throwing it in on purpose... right down to the of 'kurrplop'.. Smiles :)
