Notes About The Poem

He Didn'T Get the Message - Collaboration

There once was a fellow named Ted
Who recently in church got wed
His wife was in the mood
Laying there in the nude…
He was texting his friends instead!


He was sending text after text
His new wife was feeling quite vexed
'I'm after your bone - 
now get off your phone ....
Or I'll leave if I'm under sexed!

A collaboration with Jospeh May

Both Poems inspired by 'And Nothing Else Matters' By Andrea Dietrich
1st May 2016

Funny ! And probably more true than we think ! Today I had to swerve around a man who was too busy texting whilst walking ! I was on my disability scooter :-)

It infuriates me that people are so insensitive Lenny - if you had run him over of course he would have blamed you - lets wait to see when the 'claims' companies get on the bandwagon of claims caused by mobiles!!! hugs jan xx
