Downwardly Mobile

 



It was time for mobile upgrade
Our silicone vessels sagging
Behind the times in snappy apps
And picture selfie bragging

We requested contract upgrade
Greeted warmly at top speed
Attentively our dealer pledged
To cover every special need

Delivery was bang on time
Parceled pleasures wrapped within
Unpacked and feeling good to go
Fairground feelings in topspin

The I-phone that was my phone
Straightforward at first sight
Bells and whistles all in readiness
But my number wasn’t right

My other half with other phone
Had somehow got my number
So now we had to ditch the switch
Stir our phones from techno slumber

Calling up for more support
Fraught with much bewilderment
Left to languish phone on hold
Alone with rising discontent

Don’t ask me how it happened
And all the trouble it now took
The stress the mess I must confess
Would take up more than just a book

Travel plans were now essential 
We headed for the city centre
Face to face with human beings
Reduced the pain of our tormentor

They interfaced with cyberspace
Reconfigured crisp new chips
Reinstated numbers dedicated
No more Saga blips or trips
