Locking Up the Phones

“You must shut off your phone;

Place it into this case

Which we’ll lock up, until

You will exit this place.”

 

This was outside the theater

And, lo and behold,

No one griped, but all did

Just what they had been told.

 

It was strange, but real nice

Seeing not one lit screen

In the audience, members

Thrown off their routine.

 

No distractions from texters

Or people so bored

They must Google the news,

With politeness ignored.

 

So instead, all were focused,

The whole multitude,

On the actors, with some scenes

Performed in the nude.

 

That was likely the reason

No phones were allowed,

But I loved being part

Of an old no-tech crowd.
