I'Ve Got a Phone To Pick With You

A hypnotic effect is possessed by this gadget It could even lead to a syndrome called pagets Bent over and private its user spellbound But unsocial and rude to all those around Multiple noises are deftly emitted With buttons to press and assets unlimited Texts dispensed and news accessed Leaving conversation to certain death Ring tones abound in public spaces Phone chat like barkers in public places photos and selfies posted here and there All manner of games to further ensnare Thus putting the user in greater peril When mobile phones become a menace To drivers and walkers all absorbed A selfish misuse to be abhorred And a blight when the charger is mislaid And constant debit to be repaid This amazing gadget should remain in pocket Until really needed, then out of the closet

Echoed my thoughts so well. Phones really can be a public nuisance.

powerfully penned Rose there is a place for them and they are useful but I see so many people glued to them, the art of face to face contact will be a thing of the past and anyone caught using one at the wheel they are talking about giving the police power to confiscate them - I hope so it will cut a lot of accidents!:-) hugs jan xx
