Put Down Your Phone

No matter when they gather I'm still so all alone. Because no matter what the time of day they're always on their phones. Early morning dawn to dusk they talk and text away. Afraid some trivial bit of news will escape their friends display. My only respite is dinner time when phones are out of bounds. Where they eat like imprisoned animals trapped inside a pound. When finally done at supper...they sit and give me puppy eyes. In hopes I will give the word and free them before they die. I've reached the end of my tether and must get them to agree. So I call an emergency meeting in hopes to save our family. We talk the night away and come up with a daunting plan. To spend more time together where all our phones are banned. Maybe it might be real maybe it might come true. A family filled with caring taking time for me and you. So my Dears, forget about your Twitter and put away your phone. We'll start bonding on the morrow cause I'm watching 'Game of Thrones.' The End *For those who might be interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every second day.
