Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Tim's Been Slipping Some

 I woke to a tune playing in my head
that was Tim, my mom timed him to wake me.
Tim's a telepathic, implant, module
and till I get up, it won't let me be.

Tim, drop the music, I'm up already
now connect me to my mom... hi, thanks Tim.
Don't bother with breakfast... Tim order some 
and then reserve me a spot at the gym. 

Hold on mom, dad's trying to talk to Tim
Hey dad...I didn't forget our lunch date.
Did you hear, there's a new upgraded Tim
my birthday’s coming up, it's not too late.

To tell you the truth Tim's been slipping some
if you can't afford it, split it with mom.

Deborah Guenther Beachboard March 24, 2018 at 3:22 PM This is quintessential science fiction! It draws the reader in and leaves us with the feeling that we need always and better technology, and take it for granted that we will get it in whatever way necessary. Emile Pinet March 24, 2018 at 4:25 PM Thanks so much Deborah, I'm pleased that you liked it and grateful that you took the time to comment my friend, Emile.

Line Gauthier March 8, 2018 at 3:59 PM Hi Emile. I remember in the 70's waking up to Tiny Tim's Tip Toe Through The Tulips... this is different though, right. LOL different century! Emile Pinet March 8, 2018 at 6:04 PM Thanks Line, yeah I remember that...this is how I envision a si-fi future might look like, although Tiny Tim was way out there my friend, Emile.
