(c) 2017 Edward York
I went to take a shower,
And since I was all alone.
I found a safe environment,
Where I could leave my phone.
I had only halfway started,
And felt the water's sting,
Then I heard it in the distance,
My familiar cell phone ring.
The caller was persistent,
So I thought that I should see,
Who wouldn't give up calling,
And interrupting me.
I dripped all on the floor tile,
And got the rugs all wet,
Trying to reach the cell phone,
On the table where it set.
So I finally got it answered,
The recording loud and clear,
With a fantastic vacation offer,
For the holiday that's near.
So this is just a warning,
If you have tried to call,
The phone now sits in pieces,
Slammed up against the wall.

Great write
Thanks Tony. Appreciate it.
Welcome
Wow laser! This wasn't how I expected it to end, but great poem nonetheless! Good luck with your new phone, providing you get one!
I can always use good luck.
Ouch - - I know just how mad it can make folks when naked they splash about trying to get to a persistent phone. Great rhyming too my friend.
Thank you. Trying to be more relaxed, we will see if that works.
It always happened like this, the phone ring at your inconvenience. Will the phone company offer you a new one?
They should have some kind of allowance for irritant calls.
Brilliant
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Great write Laser!
Lesson learned... I’m sure!
I thought it would have a
different ending. Actually,
I’m glad it has your ending
and not mine!
Thank you. My ending is pretty final.
Great write and I just laughed out loud - thank you.
I used to work in computing before retirement and computing has both software and hardware and as I have seen on a number of occasions it is called hardware because it creates a hell of a noise when thrown against a wall!
I have seen many people frustrated by these devices that have crept into our daily lives. I can't help but think of the movie "Terminator" at times and wonder if we have gone too far.
Great poem, lasergraph. Here is the perfect answer when somebody tries to sell you something on the phone:
Oh, I am so glad you called. Would you be interested in Amway?
They usually hang up.
Good answer. I had an aunt and uncle that sold that, I avoided them like crazy.
