Notes About The Poem

Entry for the Picture Prompt Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Margarita Lillico 

Premiere Contest WinnerPool Fool

A witless young man named Abdul
one day dropped his phone in the pool.
With his face in the wet,
he could TikTok still get,
no need to dive in; he’s no fool!

very funny interpretation of the poem! friend's grandson dropped her phone down the loo - whilst it went to the repair shop she used her late husbands phone - can you imagine getting a call 'from beyond the grave; it was surreal :-( hugs jan xx

On some crime documentary, I saw police do a copy of a murdered woman's old cell phone and they texted their suspect as of from the grave. It so unnerved him that he went to where he buried her and the police got him!
