Portable problems

They demand total devotion with unedited glee

They seek complete attention and obedience for free

Ubiquitous creatures on a ruinous spree

Mobiles are the bane of the 21stcentury

 

Whilst driving in the midst of heavy traffic

Or sailing on a cruise ship in the Pacific

You pick it up in air in water on land. In the bathroom!

In the middle of your wedding even if you are the groom

 

It gives you information and news 24X7

Every ‘tring’ is like manna from heaven

You dare not ignore its messages and posts

It will haunt you forever like Casper the ghost

 

Social media has you eagerly lap up its hogwash

With a chilling influence it completes your brainwash

You are no longer in control of what you believe

Before you fully fathom you lose ability to sieve

 

It now rings in your head even when switched off

More expensive the handset the more it shows off

The comfort of a boring black box I used to call telephone

I recall some ancient Neanderthal age in which I have grown
