cell phones tired of ringing
clinging
take me away but put me back
right on this road
in the center of town
the clock tower cracks
too much radiation
give us our air back

no i will NOT wait three seconds!

Is'nt it ironic that the people who love their cell phones scream the loudest when they put up a relay tower to handle the usage.Bravo!.Now sock it to the idiots who talk on their cell phones while driving a car and take them to the movies.

I think you have a good flow here- the phrases and rhymes you use are sharp, concise and powerful. The bit about the clock tower was a little confusing though.... I wasn't sure exactly what a cell tower is? If it's a tower to help transmit cell phone calls, I sure haven't heard of them yet... and clock tower threw me off more, outside of the reference to time people are afraid to waste by making a call on a stationary phone...
