Ode to My Cell Phone

Sleek, smooth gadget
Fitting in my palm like a deck of cards
Invention of futuristic proportions,
Now in kid-friendly varieties.

Before you I wasted so much time
Searching up and down endless aisles
To meet up with parents and siblings
Who kept moving just out of sight.

My world is so much brighter
With you cheerily ringing in my pocket--
All of my family and friends
With no more long distance.

Wonder of technological advances
My phone, calculator, calendar, alarm--
My ever faithful timepiece
And impromptu photo shoot.

How did I ever survive
When you were but a dream?
Once an indulgent luxury,
You now seem a constant necessity.
