The Tablet App Poem by Paul Warren

She waited and waited for her birthday
When a computer tablet made her day
So she looked at the world scenes
Becoming her favourite thing to hold her dreams

Each day she carried it around
And she couldn't put it down
There were Apps for gaming and reading
For every day things for what she was doing

One day she opened the App Store
Looking at all the new things listed and more
But there was one App that intrigued her
It was the best one for an App Connoisseur

It asked Do you want to know
All that you want to know and show
And it was free to those who wanted it
So she pressed and it ed in a fit

But this is where the story changed
As the App exploded and arranged
Until a face formed on the screen
Smiling and waving when it had been seen

So it became her habit each day
To go to the App right away
Being further drawn into the frame
Until it controlled what she said and did in its game

The adults didn't notice at first
Until things had changed for the worst
With the children gathering together
Standing and looking forward with no chatter

So the challenge had begun
As the groups of children thought as one
And Adults pondered how it would end
As each for their lives they had to defend.
