CHARGE !!!

 Rommy has us thinking about batteries running low ~ my poem is / a tale of woe!

Ode to my Cell

behold this phone / a trusty mate

charge is dropping / my sad fate

at 5% it blinks and pouts

a drama queen / creating doubts

but oh dear battery / don't you know

you mirror me / from head to toe

I too by noon could use a nap

recharge my joints / perhaps a snack

for life's a race / don't rush / don't fret

got many sparks to offer yet

I've walked the miles / laughed the years

seen the world / through smiles and tears

sure enough / knees feel 'low power'

my back can crack / at any hour

but life's still bright / on flashing screen

even when I'm low-caffeine

so plug me in / don't let me fade

I still know how pure joy is made

a glass of wine / a laugh or two

I'm good as new / now how 'bout you
