Cell Phones Are Dangerous - Dk

Ever notice some looking at a cell phone, while they are walking along- they just keep on talking; or they are just looking and detached- and all else is unknown, I watch them from my balcony getting off the bus and walking. Now, the winding pathway into my building is quite dangerous, it has many bumps and uneven surfaces, dips and cracks; a guy on his cell was walking this path treacherous, DUMBSTRUCK- he falls still looking at the cell phone as he smacks ! _____________________ August 14, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/Cell Phones are Dangerous - DK Copyright Protected, ID 08-1380-965-14 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Dumbstruck sponsor, Charlie Messina, Judged 08/29/2021 Eighth Place

Congratulations on your win. A wonderful write. No cell phones when walking and driving. What did people do before the cell phones???? Call when they got home. We were smarter then. Have a blessed day.............

Constance, what would we do without cell phones in today's world. Unfortunately, there have been so many accidents and tragedy's caused by them. Congratulations on a fine win! Charlie

Charlie, thank you for the contest and my placement, your comment and congratulations, I find some people use the cell phone as a crutch, a way to withdraw ~peace and tranquility _Constance

The peak of stupidity is looking at one's cellphone instead of the traffic when crossing the street in a pedestrian crossing in Hawai'i (or Rome)!

(chuckle) Some people just never learn, do they? My pet peeve is when they are driving and looking at their cell phone. You can see them weaving all over the road. Crazy!

Jan, thanks for visiting and commenting, yes, I am bewildered how people cannot function without a cell in their hand and to be constantly looking at it ~ Constance
