My New Cell Phone
My New Cell Phone
I just got a new cell phone with features I'd not had
It's a little flip up job with a full featured touch pad
I know how to make voice calls, but really became vexed
When I challenged the technology, and tried to learn to text
I found the message section and began to hunt and peck
I mean how hard can that be, typing's not high tech
But as I entered letters, I quickly hit a wall
The words that I was typing did not show up at all
It seems the phone is programmed to guess where you are going
And regardless what you type in, that's not what is showing
But that's just the beginning, as I played with my new phone
I soon became intrigued with picking out my new ring-tone
A lot of trial and error and at last a sound I had
That with all things considered, wasn't all that bad
I waited for the first call and thought it would be fun
To listen to the strains of House Of The Rising Sun
But instead of my new ring-tone, I strangely got a "ding"
Why would my cellphone do that, what happened to my ring?
After some inspection, as I'm still not too deft
I figured out the "ding" had meant a message had been left
So now we're back to that again, where does the message sit
How do I find out what it says, what keys do I hit
I tried to type "Hi How are you", and got "Hit Home art you"
I thought man, I cannot send that, now what do I do
Then I heard a "buzz" and wondered now what have I done
How many songs and beeps and buzzes does it take this thing to run
So I got the users manual and this is what I read
If you hear a little "buzz" your battery just went dead.
