Plug Me In!

"I'm dying! I'm dying!"
My poor cell phone cried,
But I paid it no heed
As I headed outside;
The garden was quiet,
Time flew along,
The birds in the trees
Held me rapt with their song;
Back in the house,
No pings could be heard,
No greeting from Siri,
Not a single ring stirred;
"I can't understand
This new state of mind;
It's just so unlike her
To leave me behind,"
One last desperate try;
To the birds looking in,
"I really don't mean
To intrude on your din,
Tell her all is forgiven,
But time's running thin;
Please tweet her my message—
Please, please, plug me in!"
