A Not-So-Necessary Evil?

To the tune of Leonard Cohen's glorious 'Hallelujah'.
With apologies...

For forty years, I went without,

I planned ahead,

I thought things out,

I thought it just another strange breakthrough, yeah.

But then I laid my hands on one,

E'en on the road,

I got things done,

And from my lips there came an Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah . . .

Back then it seemed to help my life,

With books and games

By bright backlight,

(Though heaven knows that Facebook will outdo ya,)

I’d follow what the others do,

And check email, the weather, too,

And still there came from me an Hallelujah.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah . . .

Maybe there’s a God above,

Perhaps cell phones

Were made with love,

But now I’d like to bid the thing adieu, yeah.

I want it far away from me,

Someday, I’ll throw it in the sea,

Then from my lips a heartfelt Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah . . .

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot
With poetry, we all besought,
To try to make the week being
With pleasant thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So all of us, together, we
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you've read what we have wrought,
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Come back next week, because our rhyme,
Will be about the theme of TIME!
