Nuisance Calls

A girl on my bus sends texts from her phone;
She does it without any limit.
And seems oblivious as passengers moan,
When the wretched thing chirps every minute.
I’d love to grab it and bin it…

For Natalie's contest

Well, I can feel your pain, however it is the only way I know where my children are, is by text. So maybe, just maybe, the girl is texting her Mom to say she will be home late for supper? Maybe?? Great poem. Lee

hahaha I bet you aren't the only one who wants to grab it and throw it out the window. Some people seem addicted to the darned things. Me I'm happy for people to wait for me to get home to phone me. A cell phone is for when you take a long trip or are driving in Winter in case you have to call for help. Love this cute little rhyme. God Bless my friend. JB
