I must confess a yearning for my phone  
desire that is bordering on lust  
and though it gives me news I do not trust  
and I no longer use its ringing tone  
if I can't find it, I will hiss and moan  
location service being quite robust  
I find it quickly, as I feel I must  
and check it yet again, when on my throne

a sonnet to the phone, I surely jest?  
(and written on the phone as well, to boot)  
Petrarca must be rolling in his grave  
at least it's not blank verse, that's for the best  
the phone, it has become the poet's lute  
and sonnets celebrate that which you crave
