The Missing Cell Phone
The Missing Cell Phone
By Elton Camp
I gave my pocket the usual pat
But was horrified to find it flat
It’s where I keep my cell phone
Yet, now I find that it’s gone
Various possibilities I have to face
I may have laid it down someplace
I rush to the den table by my chair
But find that the phone isn’t there
Because I went to town today
In the car, perhaps it’ll lay
In the automobile, I search around
However, no phone is to be found
I think of the places that I’ve been
Preparing to go back there again
As I’m about to put the car in gear
It’s a familiar ring that I hear
With great relief the sound I greet
It’s coming from under the front seat
“Hooray, hooray!” I joyfully cry
Without my phone I can’t get by
