2 - OR, maybe " Funny Faces" . nub/rub: good rhyme, but what do you mean. " nub" has several meanings, as does " rub" . maybe if i lived in U.K. i'd 'get it'. line 6-? " Mama's" : make it " Mamas"

1 - i would usually not read a Poem of the Day, but i noticed the title, and, strangely, i'd just used the word phony on P H today! ! ! And, YES, both spellings are correct, and it probably depends on where one is/was when she/he learned the spelling: U.K. et al, or U.S., or? ? ? , according to Google. like some other word spellings. ok, i'll read the poem; it'd better be as good as the photos! ! !

Plus it's dangerous that people aren't focusing on what they are doing. My mother took a spill in San Francisco on an alley street and broke her shoulder while looking at her cellphone. Extremely painful and costly. Dangerous!

Humanity subjugated to modern technologies and being dehumanized. The gloomy picture portrayed in this poem is unfortunately an alarm. Better it will be iff we try to liberate ourselves and use technologies as tools of facilitation instead of allowing them to dominate our lives. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Snow I am victim of the internet. Though, i don't have smart phone; I am always on my computer and am feeling the effects of loneliness. You made me realize this with this poem
