I find it hard these days to have a proper talk
A text arrives, my landline rings, what next?
Without their smartphones, many blindly sulk.
Conversation could occur on walks
When phones were heavy and but few could text
I find it hard these times to have a talk
An object of transition , made in bulk
In colours.sizes.prices it’s alleged
That without their smartphones, many people sulk.
Their lips are shuttered with a vocal cork.
Against our humanness, they took a pledge
I find it hard to get friends here to talk
With right hand holding combined knife and fork
The left one texts and secrets are divulged
Without their smartphones, many folk can’t walk.
I ‘m determined with complete resolve
To make my tongue appealingly involved
When I meet a human , I shall talk
And if they say,you’re foreign, I’ll run riot.
