My Poetry. When I need you!

It's light and small,
yet it claims it can save your life!
It makes cool sounds,
and lets you check on the wife.

It goes off anywhere,
at any time, giving you a fright;
twenty-four hours of noise,
and even right through the night!

It can glow in the dark,
take blurry pictures,
and do all its fine tricks
with a wire plugged into your ear.

It wakes you up,
it frees your hands,
it goes on speakerphone
so you can annoy the neighbors with bands.

It keeps you in touch,
sets all the new trends,
shoots short videos
to mildly irritate your friends.

But here’s the crushing downside—
the horror all depends
on whether that tiny little battery lasts,
and how much money you spend.

Nothing you can do,
you're stranded without hope;
it's a useless, silent tool,
and you feel like a total dope.

Imagine being stranded,
without a single way to call,
nowhere near a garage
or even a pathetic shopping mall!
You'd have to walk for miles
to find a rusty pay phone;
imagine how miserable you'd feel,
as you grump and groan!

What if it was night-time,
the air was damp and thin?
You only have a T-shirt on,
and passers-by just grin.

So friends, listen closely here,
if you plan to travel afar,
do yourself a serious favor:
Fit a charger in your car!
