Cell Phone Blues

I left my cell phone at home today,

I’m blind and cannot find my way.

Cut off from the world you see,

Drowning in anxiety.

Who might call or send a text?

Who might need me in a fix?

What if Grandma breaks a hip?

What if Trump should make a slip?

What’s the score of the hockey game?

Will the weather change or be the same?

How will I pay for my mocha frapp?

What if I’m lost and I need a map?

What will I play as I wait my turn?

How can I calculate what I’ve earned?

What’s the date for a week from next Tuesday?

What’s the latest headline on a busy news day?

I’ll make a U-turn and head to the house,

I’ll get in and out as quiet as a mouse.

No one will know, I’ll deny it to the end,

Or post it on Facebook to share with my friends.
