Smartphone

My husband has a smartphone,
As do many of my friends.
They fiddle with their apps;
What they can learn just never ends.

A subway stop? The weather?
The location of a store?
The range of possibilities
Just leaves you wanting more.

Pictures of the grandkids?
Here’s a gallery to view.
Ding! There’s a reminder
That your dental visit’s due.

Check your e-mail, send a text,
Thumb a Twitter tweet.
Use your smartphone all the time
To make your day complete.

We’ll all have smartphones someday
But until that day has come,
I’ll be left out in the cold because
The phone I have is dumb!
