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
