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?”
