My phone

By Neal Levin

My phone has tons of gadgets, A hundred-fifty rings,

Can store a thousand numbers And other nifty things.

My phone can send me e-mail And news from far away, Predict tomorrow’s weather,

And tell the time of day.

My phone can download music, Take photos in a flash,

Make videos and movies,

And really make a splash.

I heard that in the old days

(I’m not sure what this means) That people used their phones to talk To other human beings.

To other human beings.
