You’ll have seen me walking along the street: head down, mobile in hand, regardless of the passing populace. People are very helpful – they move out of my way when they see me coming. Trouble is, other things don’t.
I can’t see where I’m going
And I don’t know where I’ve been
’Cos I’m following social media
As it pops up on my screen.
My mobile phone’s my baby:
I carry it around
So I can check it all the time
And keep it safe and sound.
Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp
Need monitoring the most,
But I’ll log in now to Twitter
And add my latest post . . .
Not looking where I’m going,
I add the vital hash:
“Hashtag nerdy Twitter poems”
And post the tweet off . . . CRASH!!!!
Where did that lamp post come from?
I’d better change my ways
Or else, next time, it could be worse
Than just a bloody graze . . .
