Thank You Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Rang a Bell when he said Mr. Watson, come here In 1876 With no earthly idea Of what was to come How we live today With cell phones up our butts Wherever you turn Someone's talking or texting At every red light While the green one is resting And let's not forget The in your ear bluetooth craze People talking out loud to themselves Like we all care what they say Or out and about At a table for four Where each cell phone in hand Is the only thing not ignored It does make you wonder What Alexander would do If he saw his seed planted Producing this rotten fruit Perhaps then Alexander Graham Would ring that Bell in history And say Mr. Watson, come here Help me destroy this thing!

Your poem made me smile because when walking at a park yesterday everyone had their heads downward looking at their cell phones instead of watching where they were going!:)
