There's an App

For your dietary requirements    

there’s an app

If you're planning your retirement  

get an app

If you want to check the weather           

there's an app

It was written by a clever Asian chap

 

If you're somewhere on vacation

and you need a quick translation

of the country's salutation,

with correct pronunciation, 

there's an app

 

Why not organize your life 

with an app.

Order flowers for the wife  

with an app.

 

If you want a mini drum-kit,

or to learn to play the trumpet

Or perhaps check out some crumpet 

there’s an app.

 

For converting feet to furlongs  

there's an app

For identifying birdsongs          

there's an app.

 

Now the art of navigaation

has succumbed to automation

You can update your location

with an android application       

Not a map

 

If you want to buy a ticket

for the football or the cricket     

there’s an app.

 

You can check your destination

while you're standing at the station; 

Mind the gap

 

A straight evaluation

of your finance situation,

for loophole exploitation,

tax avoidance - not evasion,

Get the app.

 

if you're going out to dinner      

there’s an app.

If you want to back a winner      

use an app.

 

There’s an app for writing poetry….

But it’s crap!

 

Watch a movie on location

Rewatch any TV station   

with an app.

To aid stellar observation

of a distant constellation             

use an app.

 

If you're seeking absolution

Without fear of retribution

From the catholic institution 

use an app.

 

If you’ve got a new position

where you find you're on a mission,

an icelandic expedition,

to investigate the fish and

so improve the world's nutrition 

there’s an app…  

Well perhaps

 

If you're building an extension,

want the plans in three dimensions

I just wonder, did I mention?     

There's an app

Superb fun, and a masterful control of a lengthy poem which might have gone too silly. What? No 'strumpet'! (Actually, I inserted it for 'crumpet', just for a new twist.)

'an icelandic expidition
to investigate the fish and
so improve the world's nutrition'

Only you could come up with rhyme like this Dave :) A cracking performance poem and a hilarious read. x

Crackin' cheese, Gromit!
I wish I'd written this - I might yet pretend that I have!
And you performed it brilliantly at the Tudor last week.
Just one thing - what's an app?
