Poem
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE MALL A funny thing happened on the way to the mall It came in the form of a really odd call My smart phone rang and answered itself And began a conversation with a TV chef The chef was Italian, my cell phone speaks Creole I pulled to the roadside to hear things unfold The chef indicated his need for her to see What ingredient was missing from his new recipe She said to the chef what you need is crawdads The chef asked if that was all that he adds She explained to him in her Creole accent Crawdads would be his greatest advent And in his Italian brogue he said okey dokey But I think it will make my dish rather hokey My Creole smart phone made this reply I am a smart phone and I do not lie The chef said to her how you getta my number And why you calla me and tella me this bummer She said to the chef get a line and a pole Then take a walk down to the crawdad hole Catch yourself a dozen or two And change your recipe into crawdad stew Then you'll be the most famous chef of all Because you got it all from a smart phone call Now the moral of this silly nonsensical rhyme Is to see how many of you will take time To see if your smart phone is smarter than you And give an Italian chef your recipe for crawdad stew 25 June 2018 For the contest sponsored by Robert Haigh
