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
