BEATEN TO THE PUNCH!
On Friday, COAST-TO-COAST AM,
Reported a new news item…
How I-phone light
Kept folks up all night,
Putting health at risk, in the end.
–
The newspapers caught on fast,
Before this poet could cast….
A post in the ring
(No weekend posting),
My reporting will come in “dead last”!
–
So how can I make a good Quip,
Since I’ve been given the slip…
Having it by your side
All night won’t abide
With letting consciousness dip.
–
Using smart phones for alarm clocks
Puts sanity into stocks…
Instant gratification
Stunts maturation,
One can’t sleep when the darn thing squawks!
–
Night lights are fine for some,
But that blue screen glow isn’t one….
It’s wavelengths make
Things easier to stay awake,
For night time, isn’t that dumb?
