Rock and Roll and Mobile Phones

 

Although I am an oldie

I like to keep me fit

Body muscles, neurons

And all the rest of it

 

I hear you thinking, gym freak

Needs his body-tweak

He goes to gym at crack of dawn

To weight-lift, girly-seek

 

(Girls sensible....still in bed)

 

No it's not from make-out bikes

That I get my tone

It's on the dance floor rock and rolling

(Minus mobile phone)

 

I have a strong objection

To dancers holding phones

And taking couple-selfies

For family-sending home

 

Think of what could happen

If selfie got to wife

Dancing with some floozy

Shit, imagine strife

 

It's obvious I'm rambling

But I am having fun

A poet writes for themselves, yes?

That's what they tell us son

 

But I'm an oldie.......
