Question
The most important thing to know
Is to watch out for the glow
Of the rectangle in their hands.
Oh yes, these are my commands:
5 Do not leave your kids alone
For hours on their cell phone!
Take them away if you can,
Or set some time limits, man!
They’ll stare until their eyes pop.
10 They’ll never quit; they’ll never stop.
They will be on an endless scroll--
NoExerciseNoWalkNoStroll.
And even when they walk to school,
Their eyes are glued to the bright tool.
15 When will they sleep or get some rest,
if they are always phone obsessed?
Look at their eyes droopy and red—
Their precious phones by the bed.
One day, they will bump into a pole.
20 One day, they’ll fall into a hole.
They’ll cry if their phone drops or breaks.
Stop them and their silly mistakes.
Do not leave your kids alone
For hours on their cell phone!
