MACHINES

Norman liked to be phone,
Not to be republished
His best friend was his mobile phone.

He preferred the glowing case
©KTBS
To any boring human face.
Changing clothes or changing gear,

He kept his phone pressed to his ear.

Each model was a blast,
And each was smarter than the last.

He took the phone to his bed one night,

Glowing by its tiny light.
But while he was deep in slumber

Someone tried to call his number.

In error, sleepy from his doze,
He held the phone up to his nose.

Then sniffing Norman felt a pain-

The phone had lodged inside his brain.

Now this is what Norman does,
His eyes light up, his nostrils buzz

When people call he’s always home

A walking talking mobile phone.
