Love, At A Cellular Level

We cling to our phones like a bear does a sheep

Giving one final read before going to sleep

Is it wrong that I’ll FaceTime my wife from our home

While she’s doing laundry downstairs all alone

At supper we text like we’re zombies, undead

Choose Facebook and TikTok to bonding instead

If thinking we’re lacking in close family ties

Just look how we bond when one’s battery dies

Our love for each other’s exceedingly large

You’ll see that compassion when one needs a charge

Our phones are our bond, we’re as tight as it gets

That love and commitment extends to our pets

I once got a text from our family dog, Lix

It was time for his passion, the fetching of sticks

I have to admit I was highly perplexed

Who’s phone was he using while sending that text
