The Greatest Gift Poem by John Carter Brown
The Greatest Gift
The greatest gift to youngsters
Must be the mobile phone,
That tiny sacred instrument
Which all of them now own.
No need to wait one second
To speak to your best friend,
Or leave a texting message
(One button-press will send.)
They've even built-in cameras
With which to snap your pals,
And then online the pictures go
To all the guys and gals.
These handy little marvels
So dainty, neat and small
Fit snugly in a pocket, and
Take up no space at all.
How did our youngsters all survive
Without this piece of kit;
What use their thumbs before, that now
O'er keyboards deftly flit?
What use indeed, if all of them
Whilst engaged in a call
Cannot see where they're going
And they walk into a wall!

Nice write my limerick's master. My uncle had two accident due to texting while biking. These dainty devices should be used in correct way. Speechless
Watch out-You might get run over.A fun read about about a not so funny situation. So true everywhere. Your musical efforts are very good
Brilliant John, made me laugh, all so true. How did we manage without them when we were kids, or even. Ow as adults.
