Toddler:
Got to tag along in the stroller
with my mom and her smart phone,
a connectivity’s holy roller,
she’s a dextrous texter clone.
Child:
Got to join in a walk
with my dad and his smart phone.
As long as i don’t talk
I may listen to the ring tone.
Dog:
Got to ride in my people’s car
with both on their smart phones.
Driving erratically bizarre
they turned cyber capones.
Us three:
Mercifully these ‘adults’ weren’t
remotely operating drones.
So while not by spilled coffee burnt
we are covered by crumbs of scones.
Author’s Note: Our children are obviously abandoned as far as a livable future. Also occasionally right now in the neighborhood.
