Mystery 4 Rent

I find myself currently rented out
 by the mystery
Of a a so called smart watch
Digitally imposed hand's rocking
around it's clock 
Strapped around a fair maiden's
dainty wrist

Which simultaneously both performs the
functionality of a phone and cardiac
monitor as well
Be still my beating heart as my soul mate is on the other line with the specific intention of inviting me to dine

And I need not worry about where that place be or is
Because all I need to do in order to find said destination is to follow the simple directions being transmitted on my wrist

And as long as our satellite connection isn't interupted unexpectedly
For that would surely throw a spanner into the works
And Hannibal's wearying elephant's under roof
May then not be able to solve this most puzzling of mysteries

Of what in perticular ingredients one did use to bake this fine here splendid cake
And further more are you willing to explain your secret recipe to me

I promise I will never tell or share it with another living soul
My only want and wish tis to try and emulate what you alone seem capable of doing
And if I should fall I will have to live with it
But at least I can I will be able to know at least I had and gave it a go

Question is it better to know 
Than endlessly ponder the ifs and buts
That never seem to go away and haunt you till the day you die
In the process never allowing you a single moments peace
