Stephen Kilmer Poet Rhyme

Kurrplop

I try to catch up
But what does it mean
To be bombarded by emails
And Facebooked by teens
I’m glad that my dogs
Haven’t learned how to tweet
For I fear that all they would say 
Is lets go out to eat

My Mom never calls
She just sends me a text
“What do you want for Christmas?
How is the X”? 
Dads on the phone 
But he put me hold
His shrink is calling
Seems all he has is a cold

Technology is ruining 
My life as you see
Seems I can’t have moment 
Even to pee
I sit on the pot 
With my iPhone so close 
Hoping not to get caught
So I did myself a favor 
And before I flushed
I dropped the phone in toilet
And it said "kurrplop".

It's very witty write all the way through to throwing it in on purpose... right down to the of 'kurrplop'..
