Although ancient not quite yet
A cell phone I simply did not get
The woman thrust it in my hand
And yelled with voice quite grand
Call an ambulance please be quick
Oh my hands they were quite slick
My earnest desire to help was great
And suddenly myself I did berate
As I stood and stared in disbelief
The woman was choking on roast beef
I had no idea how to turn the thing on
Quickly I yelled, but which one
I pushed first one and then another
My heart beat wildly and did thunder
Another walked up to me and said
It’s ok, I’ve called instead
Into my chair, I suddenly slumped
For I was well and truly stumped
These new fangled gadgets me befuddle
Leaving me in such a muddle
You see, a cell phone I’ve never owned
I shook my head as I groaned
The woman would be fine I was told
My relief was at least sixfold
I guess it’s time to buy a cell phone
It seemed another gadget I must now own.
Loved it. Sounded like one of those “darned if you do and darned if you don’t moments”
Keep on writing.
Thanks. I mentioned to another I have no idea how to turn a cell phone on, never used one even, oh you have to write something about this, so that’s my “story telling endeavour” hehe
That made me laugh sorry, but I could just see you! ???? pleased the lady was saved ????
I’ve never owned a cell in my life and I have no idea how to turn one on, let alone dial! it, what??? how??? anyway, I mentioned it to april Sutton, she said, there’s gotta be a story in there SOMEWHERE. Sure enough! there was, haha
A great story too ????
Very nice!
Thank you.
There is no question a handy pocket phone can help in an emergency. A basic cell phone should give you that, but consider a camera, and blogging and reading blogs on the go.
I’m pretty much housebound these days. I can take my tablet if I so desire I suppose, not sold on cell phones tbh, too many glue their faces to them and don’t talk to each other even during dinner. It frustrates me no end. When it’s the grands and me alone with my son, phones seem to disappear. We laugh joke tease and enjoy finger food night which might drive you insane, lol.
I’ve seen it, but not with my family.
I enjoy a good strong cup of tea at night, quite often, and sometimes during the day, but mostly, I enjoy my coffee! I was married to a Canadian Englishman. His parents were tea fanatics and it had to be made just right! So I know how to make good tea.
