When I go walking in the park Just to be alone I get a ringing in my ears That blasted mobile phone! I reach into my pocket To it's little greeny glow But all I get is garbled words It irritates me so And if I'm strolling down the shops Or in the supermart It really does embarrass me Ringing in the kart! I see the people in the street Their heads upon a shelf Have they got problems with their neck? And they're talking to them self All the numbers in a row With pesky little words I really cannot fathom it I find it quite absurd I'd like to take my plastic friend And stomp it in the ground Then I could walk 'round my park Without that ringing sound Now with these words its seems at last I've placed it in it's grave I think this action on my part My sanity will save I don't want you to sit and cry 'bout it's gruesome LITTLE end I'll bid you leave me on my own I've got to call a friend Jon Mewett |

ah Jon I am proud to say I don't own a mobile phone. great poem. I hear the only way to kill them is to throw them down the toilet. lol ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

Well I hate to say it, but despite the possible out come, I must admit that I sell mobile phones for a living. I am in fact the brain tumer merchant of death. I'm also an indirect sales rep. Oh well I guess none of us are perfect. Maybe I have spent just a little too much time on my own phone. [This message has been edited by Effigy (edited 06-12-2000).] |
