The time has come to pass where my
obsolete mobile must be tossed by the wayside.
At issue now, with all mobiles being equal,
is to embrace a unit that I flip or I slide.
Built-in wifi is all-important, for there's Blast
Texting is not my game, begone Blackberry
Oh, what's that symbol of gadget status?
iPhone, restricted and overpriced, ciao baby
Old phone, you've served me long and well
All your functions, I've learned your ways
I won't let you down, I'll make you useful again
MIL* will value you after her first mobile daze
When old mobile has been bequeathed to her
She'll find its functionality quite above POTs**
I think she'll be lucky to figure how to dial out
As I predict user-error and confusion and lots
I've never had a flip, I've never operated a slide
I've owned one large and heavy, akin to a brick
This gal's ready for a unit that's sleek and thin
A smartphone so sexy one will desire to lick* Mother-in-law
** plain old telephone
