My Cellphone
Today we’d be lost
Without our precious phones
Our ties to the world
To insure we’re never alone
Today we get excited
When we stop and play
Games of all kinds
To pass the time away
We phone our dear friends
And message many more
With our social media
To connect and explore
We live sedentary lives
Though there is an app
To count our steps each day
When long days we’ve had
And when we are lost
We can ask our phones
And we will find our way
To places never known
And we can check the weather
As often as we like
And know with info best
To go out or stay inside
When we retire at night
We plug our phones in
And we can get some rest
Until the day begins

Here in the UK we call them mobile phones not that matters one jot - great write about a modern piece of technology which I only use rarely to make the odd phone call. I find it so strange how some folk are on them 24/7 and don't see or appreciate the world around them - how shallow - there must be a mid-point somewhere.
Thanks, Michael. I just got a cellphone recently myself.I didn't know what all the fuss was about until I owned one. I'm afraid I am addicted too at this point. I use Google constantly and enjoy playing some games my wife played. She is really the one that convinced me that i was out-of-the-loop technologically speaking. She has gotten me out of the dark. Yes, one can become obsessed with them. I hope I never get that engrossed. Thanks for your comments.
As Michael had said people miss so much now they have mobile 'phones. There was a new sculpture erected which crossed a path leading to Salisbury Cathedral, it was two hands clasped together, because people were too busy looking at the 'phones and di not walk down the middle they kept on hitting their heads, the sculpture was moved which I thought was an awful decision. I saw another episode on the television where a person fell into a fountain because he was on his 'phone and not looking where we was going.
Be aware of the world outside your new 'phone w c.
Thanks, Goldfinch. I'll try to be careful with my phone.
A fine write w c. Some more might be on their laptops all the time too. But some, as mine, are too big to take everywhere. Just as well!
Thanks, orchidee. Thanks for your comment. Your are correct that laptops can be a problem as well. Like yours, mine is to big to be lugging it around anywhere.
