In idle moments I am prone
To searches labyrinthian;
I spend too much time on my phone.
Squandered, the minutes I’m alone,
In googling facts quotidian.
In idle moments, I am prone
And scrolling hard. I’m in the zone!
An Instagram Olympian?
I spend too much time on my phone.
Next, the news so grim, I groan.
The world has gone vulgarian.
I spend too much time on my phone.
Once WAPO’s turned my heart to stone
I shop, unto oblivion.
I spend too much time on my phone.
By the Internet I am owned.
Yearnings fade; I’m no Joan Didion.
In idle moments I am prone.
I spend too much time on my phone
