NONSENSE VERSE

Talkin’ Tech

Hey, are you mentally ill?

Your voice is kinda shrill

Screaming at your iPhone

Suspect you’re never alone

That Bluetooth in your ear

Is most becoming, my dear

See you got headphones on

But I hear that lousy song

“I bought Japanese sushi

You kick like Bruce Lee”

Let’s go to the rock show

Pay to watch one-inch video

And your pic on Instagram?

Hashtag: “I’m so glam”

The hell did you just Tweet?

A motor neuron missed a beat

You get a hit of “dopa-meme”

Checking on your Facebook stream

I don’t like to be with you

Us, and your device too

You can’t talk to me

Too many videos to see

You’re a world class app

A damn phone on your lap

It rang during the eulogy

You took the call sheepishly

Turn it on in a parking slot

Stare at it on a crosswalk

It’s time to drive distracted

Your future life redacted
