Tim and Petey were friends,
But it wasn’t always so.
I remember when they would
Awkwardly greet each other on the tram:
Polite hello and then headphones back on
And/or the book/magazine re-opened.
Tim always a magazine, Petey an airport novel.
Tim upgraded to an iphone one day,
Discarding the magazine.
It was all games and “apps” now.
One afternoon, Petey had a
heart attack.
On the tram, and who better
To assist him, to save him,
Then his friend Tim.
Tim dialed the ambulance,
But his battery died…
The other passengers offered their iphones,
(okay to do to another member of the cul….)
but these all died too, what with
all the texting and surfing and gaming…
Flat batteries, Hilarious!
Technology imitating life,
Petey’s battery had run out too,
And at the most inopportune time!
