Modern Prospecting Poem by Paul Warren

Mobile phones are the accessory of the 21 century
And they are regularly updated by friend and family
But did you know they contained gold, silver and palladium
So today's prospectors do not have a beard or mule for them

As they collect disregarded mobile phones no longer wanted
And the gold, silver and palladium is from the phones extracted
Making white gold for the fine jewellery rings and other bling
So this new breed of prospector are doing the recycling thing.
