Notes About The Poem

What has society come to with the advent of cell phones and their technological advances?

 

The Wonders of the Cell Phone

The wonders of the Cell Phone
By Franklin Price

The wonders of the cell phone,
If you can call it that,
Are miraculous and myriad
Not just there to chew the fat.

Can make a call, or text a friend,
Take a picture of a moose,
Play games, pay bills and find your way.
Buy most anything you choose

The side effects are many
On society as a whole
No face to face required
Seems to be the high tech goal

If you're a little curious
And need to see the one you call
Just face time and you'll look at them;
Now doesn't that just solve it all? 

Better yet, when you decide
That it is time to go,
Just say goodbye and tap to end
And you can make it so.

Lame excuses not required
Amenities not on the floor
A simple cell phone function
And it's goodbye and out the door

There is one thing that I suggest 
Before I end this tout.
Take some time to visit personally
That's what life should be about.
