Distracted: A Poem

Subscribe to my Potted Heid Poetry Podcast

This one’s for Davie and Marjory Jones

Who sit in the pub, and stare at their phones

She’s looking at Facebook, he’s scrolling through Twitter

They catch up on WhatsApp whilst he’s on the shitter

Check out this meme, he says with a smirk

But she’s arguing with a cunt from her work

Whose hardline stance opinion on Brexit

Vows to fix Britain before someone wrecks it

She uploads details of her morning jog

He posts a selfie he took with the dog

Who’s got the most likes? It seems she’s the winner

That picture she put up of him with his dinner

Despite their devices their sex life’s still ripe

And each night she shows him her fanny on Skype
